Modernize SSI Stipends Act
This bill increases monthly stipends for Social Security Income (SSI) recipients living in institutions. It doubles the minimum monthly allowances from $360 to $720 for individuals and from $720 to $1,440 for couples, effective after December 2025. The bill also ensures these allowances automatically adjust for inflation using the same cost-of-living formula applied to regular SSI benefits. State supplementary payments to SSI recipients will similarly increase based on these adjusted federal allowances starting January 1, 2026.
