To enable the residents of the Bayshore Manor assisted living facility in Key West, Florida, to continue to receive supplemental security income benefits under title XVI of the Social Security Act.
Summary
This bill proposes a specific exception to Social Security regulations to allow residents of Bayshore Manor, an assisted living facility in Key West, Florida, to remain eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Under standard federal rules, individuals living in "public institutions" are generally ineligible for these monthly payments; this legislation would reclassify Bayshore Manor so it is not considered a public institution as long as it serves 40 or fewer residents. The practical impact is that low-income elderly or disabled residents of this specific facility could continue receiving federal financial assistance to help cover their living expenses.
