 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Social Security and SSI AIDS Disability Act of 1991 - Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish an AIDS Disability Advisory Panel to conduct a study and report to the Secretary and the Congress on the disability criteria needed for individuals who are HIV positive to determine eligibility for benefits under titles II (Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance) (OASDI) and XVI (Supplemental Security Income) (SSI) of the Social Security Act, with special concern focused on women, children, and intravenous (IV) drug users with AIDS or who test HIV-positive. Terminates the Panel five years after submission of its initial report.

Provides for interim disability criteria, inclusive of medical conditions specific to women, children, and IV-drug users, for determining cases until Panel recommendations become law.

Requires the Secretary, during the Panel's tenure, to establish and maintain a database on OASDI and SSI applicants with AIDS. Requires annual reports to the Congress containing such information.

Authorizes appropriations.
