Tell Congress to support the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act!
Posted 8:14 PM on Friday, August 12, 2022
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides essential support to millions of people with disabilities and their families so they can meet basic necessities like food and rent. But SSI has many unfair and outdated rules that prevent people from saving money and getting out of poverty. The SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act is a bipartisan bill that would increase asset limits and adjust for inflation each year.
We invite you to share your personal story with your US Senators to encourage them to co-sponsor this important legislation. Answer a few quick questions about how SSI asset limits impact you and why they should be increased, and we’ll message your senators directly. We need Congress to increase SSI asset limits now, because people with disabilities shouldn’t have to live in poverty! Share your story at https://tinyurl.com/SSISavings
