Bill overview
This bill, the EMPSA Act, aims to eliminate a financial penalty faced by adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities who are married and receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It ensures that a spouse’s income and resources are not considered when determining SSI eligibility or calculating benefit amounts for these individuals. The bill modifies existing SSI regulations to treat married individuals with disabilities the same as single individuals regarding income and resource limits. This change is intended to provide greater financial security for those with disabilities and their families.
