Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act of 2026

This bill would change the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, which pays monthly benefits to people with low income who are older, blind, or disabled. It would raise the amount of income people can have without losing benefits, raise the savings limit to $20,000 for individuals and $10,000 for each person in a couple, and adjust these amounts for inflation each year. After 2026, it would set benefits at the federal poverty guideline and pay married couples twice the individual rate. It would also stop counting free food or housing from others as income, stop counting retirement accounts as savings, and extend SSI to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. Most changes would take effect about one year after the bill becomes law.
