A newly proposed Trump administration rule could strip up to $331 a month from hundreds of thousands of low-income Americans, reversing a Biden-era policy intended to protect disabled and low-income individuals from steep financial penalties.
The proposal, which the Social Security Administration submitted last July, targets the Supplemental Security Income program. If implemented, the policy change would reduce monthly payments for roughly 275,000 beneficiaries and completely eliminate eligibility for more than 100,000 others across the country.
