Social Security Administration Expands Benefits to Include SNAP Recipients

According to Kiplinger, the Social Security Administration has changed a rule for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program to help more low-income households. Now, households getting food stamps like SNAP can also get SSI benefits. This could mean more money for people who already get SSI and it could help more people qualify for SSI.

The head of the Social Security Administration Martin O’Malley, says these changes are important to make it easier for people to get the help they need. They want to make sure everyone who needs support can get it without too much trouble. These changes will start on September 30, 2024, and they aim to improve things for people needing financial help.
