Good news is looming on the horizon. President Biden is planning to make improvements to the Supplemental Security Insurance program, also known as SSI. This program helps elderly and disabled people, who are unable to work, but without enough work credits to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. These claimants would still have to meet the same medical requirements, but Biden is planning to raise the monthly benefit that people can receive. Currently, the annual SSI benefit is well below the poverty level, and the financial qualifications to qualify for SSI are archaic. Hopefully, President Biden can include these changes in the next spending package to help lift our most vulnerable out of poverty.
