Plain-English Summary

The proposal would remove the strict limits on how much money Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients can save without losing their benefits. Currently, SSI recipients lose eligibility if they have more than $2,000 in savings, which discourages people with disabilities and elderly individuals from building financial security. The change would allow these vulnerable populations to accumulate modest savings for emergencies and future needs without penalty.
