AI Summary
This bill, the Guam Supplemental Security Income Equality Act, seeks to extend the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program to Guam. The bill amends the Social Security Act to remove the exclusion of Guam from the definition of "State," thereby making Guam eligible for the SSI program. The bill also provides the Commissioner of Social Security with the authority to waive or modify statutory requirements relating to the provision of SSI benefits in Guam, to the extent necessary to adapt the program to the needs of Guam. The amendments made by this bill would take effect one year or more after the date of its enactment.
