Read more about SSI Restoration Act here!!
Disabled people want pride by being able to live above the federal poverty level, have more than $2000/mo in money and assets without being penalized, have the equity to be documented as being married.
=====================
If you aren’t on SSI or don’t know anyone who receives SSI you might have no idea how dysfunctional this program is.
======================
The SSI Restoration Act will…
– Raise the benefit rate to match 100% of the Federal Poverty Level each year
(distributions currently put recipients well below the FPL, as they equal less than 75% of the FPL)
– Increase the SSI couple’s benefit to be double the individual benefit
(couples both on SSI receive less together than they would separately [$794/individual vs. $1,191/couple])
– Earned income up to $416/month will not reduce benefits
(currently, earned income above $65/month results in a reduction of benefits – not updated since 1972)
– Raise the asset limit to $10,000 for individuals and $20,000 for couples
(individuals can currently only keep $2,000 in assets/savings ($3,000 for couples) – not updated since 1989)
