As 1974 began, the Social Security Administration started distributing supplemental security income (SSI) payment checks to aged, blind, and disabled poor persons throughout the Nation. Shortly before the first SSI checks were issued, the Bureau of the Census completed personal interviews with 17,551 individuals from which SSI's clientele would be drawn--aged and disabled welfare recipients and the aged and disabled poor persons in the general population. These data, collected for the Social Security Administration is late 1973, and comparable information gathered from the same respondents in late 1974 make up the Survey of the Low-Income Aged and Disabled (SLIAD). Its findings will be used to describe the circumstances of needy aged and disabled persons before SSI, determine the program's success in attracting those who qualified for its benefits during the first year of operations, and assess the effect of participation on the well-being of recipients.
1974年初，社会保障管理局开始向全国的老年、失明和残疾贫困人口发放补充保障收入（SSI）支付支票。在首批SSI支票发放前不久，人口普查局对17551人进行了个人访谈，这些人将成为SSI的客户群体，包括老年和残疾福利领取者以及普通人口中的老年和残疾贫困人口。这些于1973年末为社会保障管理局收集的数据，以及1974年末从相同受访者那里收集的可比信息，构成了低收入老年人和残疾人调查（SLIAD）。其调查结果将用于描述SSI实施前贫困老年人和残疾人的状况，确定该计划在运营的第一年吸引符合其福利条件者方面的成效，并评估参与该计划对受益人的福祉产生的影响。
