SSI Annual Report tables in chapter IV show every year beginning with 1980. In most tables,
we also show 1975. As the SSI program began in 1974, data for years 1974 and 1976 through
1979 are not shown. We provide supplemental tables by single year for readers requiring more
detail. Reference should always be made to the published report for context and
explanation of terminology.
These supplemental tables are available in both HTML and Microsoft Excel formats.
