Along with nearly 240 other organizations, Solve M.E. enthusiastically endorses the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act, which – for the first time in nearly 40 years – would raise the amount of money Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries can save without jeopardizing vital income
support from SSI.
The bipartisan SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act led by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Representative Danny Davis (D-IL), and Representative Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) would empower millions of people with disabilities to earn and save more money for their futures.
The bill would raise the SSI asset limits (which have been stuck at $2,000 for an individual and $3,000 for married couples since 1989!) to $10,000 per individual/$20,000 per couple, and adjust the levels automatically with inflation each year.
