Summary:

Provides background on supplemental security income (SSI) program, and reviews issues concerning recommendation by the National Academy of Social Insurance and the Commission on Childhood Disabilities that an SSI benefit maximum be imposed on households with more than one SSI eligible child. Discusses assertion that current SSI rules have contributed to long stays on the program, and presents equity arguments associated with limiting a family's gross SSI benefit.
