Social Security Lifts 1 Million Children Above the Poverty Line
Overview A little-known aspect of the Social Security program is its powerful role in providing income security for children. Census Bureau data show that 5.3 million children lived in families that received income from Social Security in 2002. Many of these children qualified themselves for Social Security payments because they were the survivor or dependent of a deceased, disabled, or retired worker who qualified for Social Security. Other children do not receive payments themselves but live in families where someone receives Social Security.
