Proposed Cuts to SSI Would Hurt Disabled Children and Their Families | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

SSI provides monthly benefits to low-income seniors and disabled people, including children; it is the only federal income support targeted to families caring for children with disabilities and reaches only the lowest-income and most severely impaired children, who tend to need the most significant support. These children have conditions such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, intellectual disability, and blindness. About 1 million households with disabled children receive SSI benefits averaging about $800 a month.
