The EMPSA Act amends the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program to eliminate the marriage penalty for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Currently, SSI benefits are reduced when a recipient marries because a spouse's income and resources are counted toward eligibility and benefit calculations. This bill would allow married adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities to receive full SSI benefits based only on their own income and resources, disregarding their spouse's financial situation. The changes would take effect 180 days after enactment.
