Wyden, Brown, Casey Urge Social Security to Improve and Simplify the SSI Application Process
Letter
Issues: Senior Citizens
"SSI claimants face significant administrative barriers to accessing this critical lifeline. In addition to the program's stringent income and asset limits, the current SSI application form for evaluating non-medical eligibility criteria is over 20 pages long, and in paper form.
It is more important than ever that the SSI program is modernized and accessible to all Americans to expand access for disabled individuals seeking to apply for SSI benefits while lowering administrative costs."
