0960-AI60 202110 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0960 Social Security Administration SSA Omitting Food From In-Kind Support and Maintenance Calculations

We propose to change the definition of In-Kind Support and Maintenance (ISM) to no longer consider food expenses as a source of ISM. Instead, ISM would only be derived from shelter expenses (i.e. costs associated with room, rent, mortgage payments, real property taxes, heating fuel, gas, electricity, water, sewerage, and garbage collection services). The present definition of ISM is used across several regulations and this regulatory change would necessitate minor changes to other related regulations.

Yes

This change would remove food cost when we determine ISM. By doing so, it streamlines the ISM policy and resulting SSI program complexity.
