October 2022 Dear Colleague, This month marks the 50th anniversary of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, which was created to ensure that people with disabilities wouldn't live in poverty. I want to call your attention to bipartisan legislation that has been introduced in the U.S. Senate:  The SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act (S.4102) would increase the $2,000 asset limit that non-married SSI recipients are permitted to have. Please see the TAKE ACTION link below, which is an easy way to urge New Jersey's Senators Booker and Menendez to co-sponsor this important legislation.  Please share this email with others who may also be interested in urging our U.S. Senators to co-sponsor this much-needed legislation!

TAKE ACTION
