People with Down syndrome want to get married just like everybody else! 💍💐

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Savings Penalty Elimination Act would make a long overdue correction to an out-of-date policy that discourages people from saving money and also disincentivizes them from getting married. It will also raise the SSI asset limitation so people with disabilities can save more money without jeopardizing their benefits. SSI is critically important to people with Down syndrome and other disabilities because it provides monthly cash payments to people with disabilities and older adults who have little or no income or resources to pay for basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter.

Ask Congress to let people with disabilities save more money and get married without penalty! Action Alert > https://bit.ly/NDSCActionAlerts
