Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act of 2026

The Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act of 2026 (HR7828) was introduced on March 5, 2026, by Rep. Grijalva (D-AZ) and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. The bill proposes broad changes to the SSI program: raising the general income exclusion from $240 to $1,892, increasing the earned income exclusion from $780 to $6,149, raising resource limits to $20,000 for individuals, repealing the marriage penalty, excluding retirement accounts and tribal welfare payments from countable resources, and extending SSI to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. The bill is in its earliest legislative stage—no hearings, no markups, no CBO score. It authorizes no direct spending; any cost would be paid out of the Social Security trust funds and general revenue, but the bill does not include an appropriation. There are no publicly traded companies that stand to gain or lose revenue from this legislation. The affected population is low-income individuals with disabilities or aged 65+, not corporate entities. The companion bill S4001 is in the Senate Finance Committee, and a related bill HR4814 is also in Ways and Means, indicating a Democratic-led coalition but no bipartisan momentum. The legislative path requires committee passage, House floor vote, Senate passage, and presidential action—all uncertain. For retail investors, this bill carries no actionable market signal.
