US people with disabilities in the supplemental security income (SSI) program can’t have a penny over $2K in their bank account at any time in order to keep their benefits.
You know this economy. That amount is completely unlivable & makes it hard for people with disability to save for the future or have a safety net for emergencies.
A new bill would raise the max to $10K (or $20K for married couples). It would make a world of difference.
The SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act is in the Senate RIGHT NOW. Contact your elected officials and tell them they must support it!
its so easy to sign and support people with disabilities!! go go go!!!
