Plain-English Summary

This bill would protect people receiving Supplemental Security Income (a federal program for elderly, blind, and disabled individuals with limited income) from losing their benefits if they receive disaster relief money. Currently, disaster assistance counts toward income limits that can disqualify people from the program, so this change would let disaster victims keep both their emergency aid and their regular benefits without penalty. The bill affects low-income seniors, people with disabilities, and blind individuals who live in disaster-affected areas.
