SSI Savings and Efficiency Act of 2026

This bill changes how the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program counts income. It would stop counting support or maintenance given in kind, such as food or shelter provided by others, as income when deciding SSI eligibility and payment amounts. It removes related rules in the law, including the rule that reduces benefits for people living in another person's household. It also updates a rule for immigrants so that only cash support from a sponsor is addressed in that section. The changes would take effect one year after the bill becomes law.
