The Arc of the United States’ Post

1989 is the year the $2,000 Supplemental Security Income (SSI) asset limit was set—and it hasn’t changed in since then. If the asset limit had kept up with inflation, it would be $10,000 today! We’ve been advocating for changes to the outdated SSI asset limits for too long. Tell Congress to #UpdateSSI by supporting the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act. Use this form to take action in a few easy steps. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4dA92wh #WeActWednesday

Updates also needed to allow people collecting SSI to work. It's difficult to find employment and if found, the fear of losing SSI is too great to accept/keep a job. Yet jobs are great for everyone giving purpose, socialization, feelings of achievement, etc.
