Annual Statistical Supplement

The Annual Statistical Supplement, 2008 is now available in both and PDF.

The Supplement is a major resource for data on the nation’s social insurance and welfare programs. The majority of the statistical tables present information about programs administered by the Social Security Administration—the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance programs, known collectively as Social Security, and the Supplemental Security Income program. In addition, data are presented on the major health care programs—Medicare and Medicaid—and income-maintenance programs. The Supplement also includes program summaries and legislative histories that help users of the data understand these programs.

The next complete edition of the Supplement is expected in December 2009. Subsections will be posted on a flow basis as they become available. Data for the edition currently in progress are preliminary and subject to revision until the edition is complete.
