What this bill would do

This bill updates the rules and benefits for the Supplemental Security Income program. It raises the amount of money people can earn and still qualify for the program. It also increases the resource limits and benefit amounts starting in 2026. Retirement accounts and certain tribal payments will no longer count against a person's resource limits. The bill removes rules that reduce benefits based on marriage and in-kind support. Finally, it expands the Supplemental Security Income program to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.
