What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain individuals who qualify to receive payments under
the federal Supplemental Security Income program are eligible to receive additional
payments under a supplemental payment program administered by the Department
of Health Services. This bill requires DHS to increase the payments to individuals
under the supplemental payment program based on the percentage change in the
consumer price index for all urban consumers, U.S. city average, as determined by
the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor between
December 31, 1994, and December 31, 2022, and annually thereafter based on the
percentage change in the same consumer price index between December 31 of the
preceding year and December 31 of the year before the preceding year.
