Washington, DC 20548 B-336255 May 6, 2024 The Honorable Ron Wyden Chairman The Honorable Mike Crapo Ranking Member Committee on Finance United States Senate The Honorable Jason Smith Chairman The Honorable Richard Neal Ranking Member Committee on Ways and Means House of Representatives Subject: Social Security Administration: Expand the Definition of a Public Assistance Household Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Social Security Administration (SSA) entitled Expand the Definition of a Public Assistance Household (RIN: 0960-Al81). We received the rule on April 19, 2024. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on April 19, 2024. 89 Fed. Reg. 28608. The effective date of the rule is September 30, 2024. According to SSA, this final rule expands the definition of a public assistance (PA) household for purposes of its programs, particularly the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, to include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as an additional means-tested public income-maintenance (PIM) program. SSA also announced that it was revising the definition of a PA household from a household in which every member receives some kind of PIM payment to a household that has both an SSI applicant or recipient, and at least one other household member who receives one or more of the listed PIM payments. Enclosed is our assessment of SSA's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801 (a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. If you have any questions about this report or wish to contact GAO officials responsible for the evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule, please contact Charlie McKiver, Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-5992.
