Social Security & SSI Rule Changes
Key Questions
What does the Social Security rule change provide to public sector retirees?
It gives 3 million public sector retirees thousands in back pay and permanent benefit increases. However, SSA processing is not automatic and requires action by retirees.
How could the proposed SSI rule change affect recipients?
It would reverse a Biden-era SNAP protection for shared housing, potentially cutting hundreds of dollars from benefits for 400,000 disabled and low-income seniors.
Who is directly impacted by these Social Security and SSI changes?
Both changes affect retirement and disability income for public sector retirees as well as disabled and low-income seniors receiving SSI.
