Bill > S1416

This bill proposes to create property tax credits for individuals with disabilities by amending a section of Massachusetts General Laws related to tax credits. Specifically, it adds a new paragraph to subsection (k) of section 6 of chapter 62, which governs tax credits. This amendment allows individuals who are eligible for Social Security Supplemental Income (SSI) due to a disability to claim the property tax credit, even if they do not meet the age restriction typically imposed by paragraph 2 of that subsection, as long as they meet all other requirements for the credit. The Social Security Supplemental Income (SSI) program provides cash assistance to people with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or age 65 or older.
