This bill was introduced in the Senate on January 13, 2025. This bill excludes a spouse's income and resources when determining eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and disregards marital status when calculating the SSI benefit amount, for an adult who has a diagnosed intellectual or developmental disability. SSI is a federal income supplement program designed to help aged, blind, and disabled individuals with limited income and resources meet basic needs.
