No no no, SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is from the general tax fund - it is NOT from the Social Security trust fund. Even the video says SSI, not Social Security.
Per Social Security Website:
SSI is financed by general funds of the U.S. Treasury--personal income taxes, corporate taxes, and other taxes. Social Security taxes collected under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) or the Self-Employment Contributions Act (SECA) do not fund the SSI program.
It's a common mistake because the Social Security Administration handles both SSI and Social Security benefits, and the acronyms sound very similar: SSI, SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), and SDI (State Disablity Insurance), for example.
