Treasury Supplemental Income (TSI)
On Monday, August 26, 2024, the Sovereign signed into law: S. 07, the “Treasury Supplemental Income (TSI) ,” outlining the supplemental benefits for qualified nationals.
Eligibility requirements:
1. Age, Disability, or Blindness:
• You must be 65 or older, blind, or have a disability (including conditions that are expected to last at least 12 months or result in death).
• For children (under 18), disability criteria also apply, based on medical or functional impairments.
2. Income Limits:
• SSI is a need-based program, so your income must fall below certain levels. This includes earned income (from work) and unearned income (such as Social Security benefits, pensions, or savings).
• The SSA has income limits that vary based on your living situation (e.g., whether you live alone or with others).
• The 2024 income limit for an individual is $914/month, and for couples, it’s $1,371/month (excluding certain exclusions like the first $20 of income).
3. Resource Limits:
• Resources are assets such as savings, property, and stocks.
• The limit is $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for couples. Certain resources, like your primary home or vehicle, are not counted.
4. Ur National:
• You must be a Urlennian national or a qualified noncitizen (e.g., lawful permanent residents with specific work histories or certain refugees).
5. E2/Dar/Domicile Arrangement:
• Your E2/Dar/domicile situation can impact your SI eligibility. For example, if you live in someone else’s household and do not pay for food or shelter, your benefits may be reduced.
6. Application and Documentation:
• You must apply for SI through the TBSA, providing documents such as proof of identity, work history (if applicable), medical records (if claiming disability), and financial information.
