Supplemental Security Income for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled; Continuation of Benefits and Special Eligibility for Certain Severely Impaired Recipients Who Work

Resumen

These regulations reflect changes in the law made by the Employment Opportunities for Disabled Americans Act and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990. These statutes made permanent, simplified, and liberalized the incentives in the Social Security Act (the Act) for disabled and blind supplemental security income (SSI) recipients who attempt to work. They also liberalized the provision that provides an impairment-related work expense exclusion from the regular SSI income counting rules. In addition, we are making related administrative policy changes necessary to carry out these provisions.
