TABLES
NOTES
Details may not add to totals because of rounding.
Outlays omit administrative costs, which are discretionary and thus subject to appropriation. Federal SSI statistics omit state supplementation, whether administered by the states
or the Social Security Administration.
Exits represent suspensions and terminations caused by death or loss of SSI eligibility. Loss of eligibility can occur if an individual no longer meets the non-medical criteria
for eligibility or if an individual no longer meets the Social Security Act's definition of disabled.
The maximum monthly benefit, known as the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR), increases with the automatic cost-of-living adjustment that applies to Social Security benefits. However,
because of rounding in the FBR formula, sometimes the effective FBR cost-of-living adjustment differs from the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment.
