AI Summary
This bill, the Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act of 2019, aims to update the eligibility criteria for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. The key provisions of the bill include: increasing the general income exclusion from $240 to $1,476 (adjusted for inflation), increasing the earned income exclusion from $780 to $4,788 (also adjusted for inflation), and raising the resource limit for individuals and couples from $2,250/$3,000 to $20,000/$10,000 (again, adjusted for inflation). Additionally, the bill specifies that support or maintenance furnished in-kind will not be considered as income, repeals the penalty for disposing of resources for less than fair market value, and eliminates the marriage penalty in the SSI program. The amendments made by this bill are set to take effect 6 months after the date of enactment.
