New SSI Regs In The Pipeline

     The description of a packet of proposed regulations that the Social Security Administration has asked the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) to approve for publication in the Federal Register:

We propose expanding the rental subsidy exception beyond the 7 states to which it already applies so that it applies nationwide. Accordingly, our nationwide policy would be that a business arrangement exists when the amount of monthly rent required to be paid equals or exceeds the presumed maximum value or the current market value, whichever is less. We expect that the proposed change would improve service delivery by making our policy uniform throughout the country and reducing administrative burdens for individuals seeking access to the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.
