Opening Statement By Senator John Heinz, Chairman Chairman Heinz. Good morning. Today, the Special Committee on Aging will examine the Federal income assistance program that provides monthly benefits to approximately 4 million aged, blind, and disabled Americans. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the implementation of the Supplemental Security Income Program. Hailed as a major experiment in welfare reform in 1974, SSI offered the security of a guaranteed minimum income to this Nations most needy and most vulnerable citizens. Back in 1974, SSI was seen as a far-sighted experiment in social policy, replacing three separate Federal programs and over 1,000 disparate local systems with a coherent, unified, national approach. It was hoped that a centralized system would be simple and efficient to administer, and would protect recipients from many of the demeaning rules and procedures that had characterized the largely State-operated programs. As revised, SSI was designed to reduce the stigma of welfare by placing day-to-day operations in the hands of the Social Security Administration. Further, it was intended to provide recipients with opportunities for rehabilitation and incentives to work. After 10 years, it seems appropriate for Congress to examine the successes and the shortfalls of SSI in achieving its original goals.
