S. 2616 — A bill to amend the Act of October 19, 1973, to increase the maximum dollar amount of per capita shares for purposes of eligibility for financial assistance or other benefits under Federal or federally assisted programs, and for other purposes. | JustPolicyThe purpose of this legislation is to update a specific law from 1973 that governs financial assistance and benefits provided by the federal government to certain groups. The main objective is to increase the maximum amount of money that individuals can have in their possession while still being eligible for these benefits. One of the key changes proposed in this legislation is to raise the limit on per capita shares from $2,000 to $5,000. This means that individuals can now have more savings or resources without losing their eligibility for federal assistance programs.
