Changes in SSI Payments in 2024: What to Expect
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program that provides financial assistance to low-income elderly, disabled, and blind individuals. In 2024, some important changes will be made to the SSI program that will have a direct impact on beneficiaries.
1. Increase in Income and Resource Limit:
The required income and resource limits for SSI eligibility will be increased. This means more people can qualify for the program and current beneficiaries can receive higher payments.
2. Changes in “In-Kind Support and Maintenance” (IMS) rules:
IMS is assistance that is provided in the form of food, shelter or clothing. Under the new rules, beneficiaries will be less required to report the amount of assistance they receive in the form of IMS. This will make the application process easier and reduce the chances of beneficiaries making mistakes.
3. Increase in monthly payments for disabled claimants:
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is planning to increase monthly payments for disabled SSI claimants. Its objective is to improve the standard of living for this group.
4. Simplification in Application Process:
SSA is working to simplify the application process to make it easier for eligible people to access the program. This includes improving the online application process and reducing the number of documents required.
