Monthly benefits are payable from the
Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
(OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI)
Trust Funds. Growth in the number of beneficiaries over time
may be seen in a graph
for broad classes of beneficiaries.
Using the form below, you can see the number of currently paid beneficiaries by age.
Just select the benefit type and click on "Go."
Privacy consideration—if there are only 1 or 2 beneficiaries
in a given table cell, we show a value of 0 for the number of beneficiaries and
show no benefit amount.
