None

Congressman Moylan reintroduces bipartisan legislation to extend SSI benefits to U.S. territories, promoting equality and access.

Quiver AI Summary

Congressman James Moylan has reintroduced the Supplemental Security Income Equality Act, aiming to extend SSI benefits to residents of U.S. territories including Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. Currently, only residents of the 50 states and certain regions qualify for these benefits.

Moylan emphasized that "geography should never determine access to basic federal support," asserting that people in territories should not be treated as "second-class citizens." Co-sponsors of the bipartisan bill echoed these sentiments, highlighting the inequities faced by residents in territories regarding federal benefits.

Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett remarked that this legislation addresses longstanding disparities in federal eligibility, while Congresswoman Aumua Amata Radewagen stated that SSI is an essential service that should not depend on geographic location. Congressman Pablo José Hernández noted the high rate of disabilities in Puerto Rico and advocated for equal treatment in accessing federal support as proposed by the bill.
