Last week, Senators Warren of Massachusetts and Brown of Ohio introduced a
bill that would make changes to Supplemental Security Income SSI. The bill
is called the Supplemental Security Restoration Act of 2014. As it stands
now, those who receive SSI benefits must not have more than 2,000 dollars in
cash or assets or they will lose their benefits. According to Disability
Scoop, one of the proposed changes in the bill would raise the maximum
amount to $10,000. The bill would also eliminate the restriction on family
and friends providing assistance such as housing or food to SSI
beneficiaries and raise the income level that beneficiaries can receive
before losing their benefits. . If you think this is an important bill,
contact

senators and ask them to support the bill.
