The main purpose of this legislation, known as the SSI Savings and Efficiency Act of 2026, is to change how certain types of support are counted when determining eligibility for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. Specifically, it aims to exclude in-kind support and maintenance from being considered as income for SSI recipients. Key provisions of the legislation include a clear definition that in-kind support and maintenance, such as food, housing, or other non-cash assistance, will not be counted as income when assessing an individual's eligibility for SSI.
