The "Eliminating the Marriage Penalty in SSI Act" amends the Social Security Act to allow individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities to be eligible for SSI benefits, regardless of their spouse's income. This bill ensures that the income and resources of the spouse of an individual with disabilities are not considered when determining SSI eligibility and benefit amount. These changes would be effective for benefits paid out 180 days after the bill is enacted.
