The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program has expanded policies to help recipients improve self-sufficiency. Given that SSA data indicate an overlap in the populations served by TANF and SSI, and the changes in both programs, this report examines (1) the extent that TANF recipients with impairments are encouraged to apply for SSI and what is known about how SSI caseload growth has been affected by such TANF cases, (2) the extent that work requirements are imposed on TANF recipients applying for SSI, and the range of services provided to such recipients, and (3) the extent that interactions exist between the SSI and TANF programs to assist individuals capable of working to obtain employment. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-878/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-878.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-878/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-878.pdf GAO-04-878 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-878 Other Written Product GAO-04-878; TANF and SSI: Opportunities Exist to Help People with Impairments Become More Self-Sufficient; Aid for the disabled Aid for the elderly Block grants Interagency relations Social security benefits Surveys Welfare benefits Welfare recipients Workfare HHS Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Block Grant
