Written by .
“``(xviii) individuals who, but for earnings in excess of the limit established under subsection (q)(2)(B), would be considered to be receiving supplemental security income, and who are at least 16 years of age,''.”
Section 6102 adds a new clause (xviii) to section 1905(a) of the Social Security Act. It describes people at least 16 years of age who would be treated as receiving supplemental security income but for earnings above the limit set under subsection (q)(2)(B). Subclause (XV) is also amended to name at least that group, and subclause (XVI) to name at least the group described in section 1905(a)(xii).
What the document actually says
“``(xviii) individuals who, but for earnings in excess of the limit established under subsection (q)(2)(B), would be considered to be receiving supplemental security income, and who are at least 16 years of age,''.”
That sentence, in plain words
This covers people who are 16 or older. They would count as getting a cash aid check, except that they earn too much.
What this is about
There is a monthly check for people with little money and a disability. Work pay can push a person over the line for it.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
