The complexity of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) regulations and procedures allegedly inhibits eligible persons with serious mental illness from obtaining and retaining support. This study examined factors affecting continued SSI support among 393 sheltered care residents with serious mental illness ten years after an initial positive eligibility determination. At follow-up between 1983 and 1985 of 225 cohort members, 182 were receiving SSI benefits, 28 were eligible for SSI due to their low income but were not receiving benefits, and 15 were income-ineligible. The financially needy were most likely to receive SSI support for longer periods of time, and the most severely disturbed spent the least amount of time on SSI. Income-eligible nonrecipients were likely to be young, transient patients using emergency room services as opposed to receiving outpatient counseling.
补充保障收入（SSI）规定和程序的复杂性据称阻碍了患有严重精神疾病的符合条件者获得并维持救助。本研究调查了在最初确定资格为阳性十年后，影响393名患有严重精神疾病的庇护所护理居民持续获得SSI救助的因素。在1983年至1985年对225名队列成员的随访中，182人领取SSI福利，28人因收入低而符合SSI资格但未领取福利，15人不符合收入资格。经济上有需求的人最有可能在更长时间内获得SSI支持，而病情最严重的人在SSI上花费的时间最少。符合收入资格但未领取福利的人可能是年轻的临时患者，他们使用急诊室服务而非接受门诊咨询。
