beneficiaries and dependents through the Social Security Administration.
The Medicaid program originally was categorized into four sub-programs: Old Age Assistance, Aid to Families with Dependent Children ("AFDC"), Aid to the Blind, and Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled. In 1972, Congress consolidated three of these sub-programs into one program known as Supplemental Security Income ("SSI"). AFDC remained independent from the SSI program.
When Congress reorganized the Medicaid program in 1972, that legislature realized that the restructuring would increase the costs of Medicaid for certain states. The federal government assumed the duty for funding payments and setting the standards of need with respect to the SSI program's benefits. Accordingly in some states, the number of individuals eligible for SSI was significantly larger than the number eligible under the pre-1972 state-administeredmotions for summary judgment of both the federal defendants and the state defendants. Judgment shall be entered accordingly.
SO ORDERED.
