Findings include that moving all 110,000 eligible Californians onto SSI will increase output in the state economy by $647 million, create 4,310 new jobs, increase state and local tax revenue by $47 million, and increase federal tax revenue by $50 million. Annual health costs that can be avoided include $504 million in county health care costs for General Relief recipients, $156 million private hospital costs for General Relief recipients, and a total of $1.4 billion for county indigent patients.
