@propublica The Trump administration is poised to penalize people simply for living in the same home as their families. The Supplemental Security Income program provides a basic income to those with severe disabilities and to indigent older people. The administration鈥檚 rule change would deduct the value of a disabled adult鈥檚 bedroom from their monthly SSI benefit if the family members they live with are receiving food stamps. This would mean slashing the benefits of some of the most low-income SSI recipients by up to a third, or ending their support altogether. All told, as many as 400,000 disabled and older people across the U.S. could have their support cut or eliminated. Tap the link in our bio to read the full story.
