## Summary

**Temporary $200 monthly payment** for people who get Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement, veterans' disability or pension, or certain civil service annuities. The bill would send one $200 payment per eligible person each month from January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026 and treat those payments as tax-free and not counted when determining eligibility for federal or federally assisted programs. - Seniors and people with disabilities who receive Social Security retirement or disability benefits, Railroad Retirement annuities, or Civil Service Retirement annuities would get an extra $200 per month for each month they are entitled to the underlying benefit during Jan–Jun 2026. Only one $200 payment may be made to an individual each month even if they receive multiple covered benefits. - Supplemental Security Income recipients and veterans (and certain survivors, children, or parents who receive disability compensation or a pension) would qualify for the same $200 monthly payment for eligible months. Those payments would be excluded from federal income tax and disregarded for federal benefit and federally assisted program eligibility. - Agencies must identify and certify eligible recipients and may deliver payments electronically as soon as practicable but no later than 30 days after enactment. The bill would provide administrative funding for fiscal year 2026: Social Security Administration $83.0 million, Treasury $11.0 million for admin plus funds for payments, Railroad Retirement Board $1.1 million, Department of Veterans Affairs $3.0 million and $5.0 million for two accounts, and Office of Personnel Management $10.0 million.
