SSI Extension for Elderly and Disabled Refugees Act

This bill would extend the eligibility period for certain elderly and disabled refugees to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits through fiscal year 2008. Under existing law at the time, many legal immigrants and refugees faced a seven-year limit on these benefits if they had not yet obtained U.S. citizenship. By providing a two-year extension, the legislation aims to prevent a loss of financial support for vulnerable individuals who are still navigating the naturalization process.
