## Summary

**Extends Supplemental Security Income to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.** It would also treat U.S. nationals like citizens for SSI, remove a statutory cap on territorial SSI payments, and give the Social Security Commissioner flexibility to adapt rules for each territory. - Residents and families in the four named territories would become eligible for SSI under Title XVI and the bill removes the statutory limit on total SSI payments to those territories. - U.S. nationals in those territories would be treated the same as U.S. citizens for purposes of SSI eligibility and benefits. - The Social Security Commissioner would have authority to waive or modify statutory SSI requirements to adapt the program to local needs. The changes would take effect on the first day of the first federal fiscal year that begins one year or more after enactment.
