The SSI Restoration Act will finally modernize this lifeline by increasing benefit levels, updating outdated asset limits, and eliminating punitive rules that trap people in poverty.

Evidence

Representative Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.), alongside Senator Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, and Rep. James Moylan, led 30 lawmakers in introducing the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Restoration Act. The press release says the bill would expand benefits eligibility, increase cash payments, and fix rules that currently penalize Americans for trying to save money. Grijalva said the bill would modernize SSI by increasing benefit levels, updating outdated asset limits, and eliminating punitive rules.

Grijalva publicly led introduction of a bipartisan SSI modernization bill that matches the claim's goals, but the evidence shows introduction and advocacy rather than enactment.

The background sheet states that the SSI Restoration Act 'modernizes and improves SSI by streamlining and simplifying the claiming process, expanding the resource and income limits, and eliminating punitive reductions in benefits.' It also lists specific changes including updating the asset limit, increasing the benefit rate, and repealing punitive penalties.

Official background material from Grijalva's office describes the same policy goals in detail, confirming the substance of her support for SSI modernization.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to support SSI modernization legislation, not necessarily to enact it. After winning the 2025 Arizona special election and taking office, Adelita S. Grijalva publicly helped lead introduction of the SSI Restoration Act on March 5, 2026. The bill matched the promise’s core elements: higher benefit levels, updated asset/resource limits, and removal of punitive SSI rules. Because she materially supported and advanced legislation aligned with the pledge during the same term, this counts as delivered.

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was to support legislation to modernize and strengthen SSI, not necessarily to secure enactment. In office, Grijalva led introduction of the SSI Restoration Act with provisions matching the promise: higher benefit levels, updated asset/resource limits, and removal of punitive rules. The available evidence shows legislative support and sponsorship/leadership during the same federal term, though not enactment into law.
