2005 House Bill 5439 ↩

Senate Roll Call 696: Passed

To eliminate a proposed benefits formula that uses the amount of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) received by a welfare recipient to determine the maximum income eligibility amount, and instead just sets standard amounts and cash assistance rates for those who get SSI payments and those and do not. The bill also authorizes contracting with non-profit organizations to help individuals to navigate the SSI application process.
