AI Summary
This bill, the Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act of 2017, proposes to update the eligibility for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. The key provisions include: increasing the general income exclusion from $240 to $1,368 (increased annually for inflation), increasing the earned income exclusion from $780 to $4,524 (also increased annually), increasing the resource limit for individuals from $2,250 to $20,000 and for couples from $1,500 to $10,000 (both increased annually), excluding in-kind support and maintenance from being counted as income, repealing the penalty for disposing of resources for less than fair market value, and repealing the "marriage penalty" by providing couples with twice the individual rate. The amendments are set to take effect 6 months after the bill's enactment.
