A BILL To amend title XVI of the Social Security Act to update the resource limit for supplemental security income eligibility.

AI Summary

This bill, the "SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act," seeks to update the resource limit for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. Specifically, it would increase the resource limit for individuals to $20,000 and for couples to $10,000 in 2023, with these amounts to be adjusted for inflation in subsequent years. The bill amends the Social Security Act to make these changes, which aim to provide more financial flexibility for SSI recipients by allowing them to save more without losing their eligibility for the program.
