Summary:

Analyzes projected effects of four possible approaches to mitigating the effects of social security benefit reductions on elderly poverty in 2042, the first full year of projected trust fund insolvency; as well as targeted spending toward elderly poor under each of the four approaches. Examines a poverty-line social security minimum benefit, a sliding-scale social security minimum benefit, a poverty-line supplemental security income (SSI) benefit, and a poverty-line SSI benefit with liberalized eligibility.
