A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to pass H.R. 2540, the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act, and increase resource limits for Supplemental Security Income.

Summary

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives adopted a resolution urging the U.S. Congress to enact H.R. 2540, which would increase the countable resource limits for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to $10,000 for individuals and $20,000 for couples. The change would help low‑income seniors and people with disabilities who currently lose benefits when their modest savings exceed outdated limits. The resolution reflects concerns that the current $2,000/$3,000 caps, unchanged since 1989, discourage savings and can even affect marital decisions.
