"Multirecipients" are people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments while living with other recipients (not including an SSI-eligible spouse). Using Social Security Administration records matched to Current Population Survey data for 2005, this article examines multirecipients' personal, family, household, and economic characteristics. I find that no more than 20 percent of the 2005 SSI population were multirecipients. Most multirecipients were adults, lived with one other recipient, and/or shared their homes with related recipients. Multirecipients were generally less likely to be poor than SSI recipients as a whole; but those who were children, lived with one other recipient, and/or shared their homes with a nonrecipient were more likely to be poor. Implementing sliding-scale SSI benefit reductions for children in multirecipient households would affect about 23 percent of multirecipients, or about 5 percent of all SSI recipients.
“多重领取者”是指在与其他领取者（不包括符合领取补充保障收入资格的配偶）共同生活期间领取补充保障收入（SSI）款项的人。本文利用与2005年当前人口调查数据相匹配的社会保障管理局记录，研究了多重领取者的个人、家庭、住户和经济特征。我发现，2005年领取SSI的人群中，多重领取者的比例不超过20%。大多数多重领取者为成年人，与另一名领取者共同生活，和/或与有亲属关系的领取者同住。总体而言，多重领取者比SSI领取者整体陷入贫困的可能性更低；但那些为儿童、与另一名领取者共同生活、和/或与非领取者同住的多重领取者陷入贫困的可能性更高。对多重领取者家庭中的儿童实施按比例递减的SSI福利削减措施，将影响约23%的多重领取者，即约5%的所有SSI领取者。
