Title XVI

Title XVI generally refers to a section of the Social Security Act in the United States, specifically regarding Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This program provides financial assistance to individuals with limited income and resources who are aged, blind, or disabled. Title XVI aims to ensure a basic level of income for those who cannot work due to their conditions, helping them afford essential needs like food, shelter, and healthcare. SSI is funded by general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes, differentiating it from traditional Social Security benefits.
