Each month, SSA releases comprehensive data about their programs and the populations that their programs serve. Here’s what they released this month:

• Fast Facts & Figures About Social Security, 2024: An annual chartbook that highlights statistics on the most important aspects of the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income programs—the people they serve and the benefits they provide.

• Monthly Statistical Snapshot, August 2024: A monthly snapshot of statistics on Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income recipients.

• SSI Monthly Statistics, August 2024: These monthly tables provide statistics for federally administered payments and awards under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.

• Recurring Actuarial Note #5: Internal Real Rates of Return Under the OASDI Program for Hypothetical Workers–the 2024 edition of this note introduces adjustments for observed differences in mortality and disability incidence by career earnings levels of workers.

• Estimate of the Financial Effects on the Social Security Trust Funds of the “Social Security Survivor Benefits Equity Act,” introduced on September 25, 2024 by Senator Peter Welch.
