Given that any US citizen is currently "GETTING THE PIPE" as it relates to Govt. and the Economy; SS is/was designed as a form of TAX; deducted from a workers pay; that originally was intended to "Supplement" after retirement; income needs. Obviously that isn't a viable protection plan in 2007. Pretty difficult to maintain a lifestyle one has had for 60 plus years; on $1000 +/- per month.
I suspect living in a pipe hardly qualifies; unless they have an income history, and records show that they paid into SS for a specific time.
Sadly; not everyone homeless or indigent; is so by choice. More sad; as at least one answer states; is that the USA Govt. allows treatment/ care/ housing/ etc. to many who don't deserve it.
Abuses of any system are a fact of life; and will probably go on as long as our species. Currently anyone still working; still paying INTO SS; is contributing to a FUND that is in serious trouble; and may likely not be available; in it's current form; to many more; future generations.
Since the holidays are upon us; take them all sweat shirts from Good Will; maybe a sack of MacDonalds; and do a survey.

Sure, they could. All you need is a bank account to accept electronic transfer from SS.

I think they need an address. Otherwise the system doesn't know what to do with them.

If they have a physical postal address, they do.
