To: Mike Thompson, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer
Please support S.1 and the House American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. These vital bills will provide desperately needed assistance to states and local governments to protect critical services and benefits to children and adults with disabilities. Many states are now in the process of cutting or eliminating disability services. Many of these actions will put people with disabilities at grave risk.
The pending legislation will help states maintain health and long term supports for Medicaid recipients with disabilities; provide a one time payment of $450 to SSI recipients, the poorest of Americans; give school systems billions of dollars to support special education and early intervention services; support job training through the vocational rehabilitation program; create and renovate low income housing and upgrade the implementation of Social Security programs by reducing the unacceptably long waiting period for eligibility determinations.
It is known that there are many Americans suffering through this prolonged recession. People with disabilities are among the most vulnerable of our citizens that are feeling this pain. Please help right our economy and protect vital services to those in desperate need. Please vote for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Sincerely,

Correct me if I'm wrong...
but I thought the Senate
version is $300 for SSI
and the House version
is about $450 ??

I believe your understanding may be correct. Just recently on MSNBC and CNN I have heard two different figures; the lowest was A$450 and the highest was $490. On page 361or there abouts, of H.R. 1 it mentions SSI payments and how they are to be made. Personally, I can not figure out how the payment amount is figured.

Here is some language that clarifies the House version:
" Payments to Disabled and Elderly: $4.2 billion to help 7.5 million low-income disabled and elderly
individuals with rising costs by providing an additional SSI payment in 2009 equal to the average monthly
federal payment under the program (approximately $450 for an individual and $630 for a couple). "
