Highlights
The Social Security Administration's management of the Supplemental Security Income (SSA) program was reviewed to determine the causes of problems resulting in over $1 billion in erroneous payments in 2 years. A principal cause of errors is a lack of accurate information on income of recipients from other federal agencies. This information is used in determining eligibility and benefit payment amounts.
