No you don't report ssi supplemental security income. But ssi Is not Social Security or SSDI. You do need to report SS or SSDI. You should have a SSA-1099 for SSDI. You DO enter it under Social Security.
Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under
Federal Taxes on the left side or top
Wages and Income
Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit button
2020 1040 line 6a is the gross Social Security amount and 6b is the taxable part of Social Security.

Married Filing Jointly: $32,000
Single or head of household: $25,000
Married Filing Separately: 0
If they only get ssi or SS, SSDI or a SSA-1099 they don't have to file a return and nobody reports it.
