{"abstract":"We are revising our rules to clarify that, for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) purposes, we do not consider any combat-related military pay as income when we determine whether spouses and children of members of the uniformed services are eligible for SSI. The rules also clarify that we do not consider combat-related military pay as income when we determine the spouse's or child's proper payment amount. These rules also provide that, when we determine whether spouses and children are eligible for SSI, we do not consider retroactive payments of certain military pay as resources for 9 months following receipt. These final rules protect spouses and children of members of the uniformed services from a reduction in, or loss of, benefits because their spouse or parent serves in a combat zone.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"Social Security Administration","name":"Social Security Administration","id":470,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/social-security-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/470","parent_id":null,"slug":"social-security-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2010/02/22/2010-3383.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":416,"title":20}],"citation":"75 FR 7552","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule will be effective March 24, 2010.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. SSA-2008-0051"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2010-3383","effective_on":"2010-03-24","end_page":7555,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2010/02/22/2010-3383.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/02/22/2010-3383/exclusion-of-certain-military-pay-from-deemed-income-and-resources","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2010-3383?publication_date=2010-02-22","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2010-02-22/2010-3383/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":1338,"last_updated":"2026-09-21 12:15:06 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-02-22/pdf/2010-3383.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2010-02-22","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2010/02/22/2010-3383.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0960-AF97":{"issue":"201004","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/0960-AF97/exclusion-of-certain-military-pay-from-deemed-income-and-resources-978f-","title":"Exclusion of Certain Military Pay From Deemed Income and Resources (978F)","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201004&RIN=0960-AF97&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Other Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["0960-AF97"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2010-02-22T16:01:20Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":7552,"subtype":null,"title":"Exclusion of Certain Military Pay From Deemed Income and Resources","toc_doc":"Exclusion of Certain Military Pay From Deemed Income and Resources","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Aged","Blind","Disability benefits","Public assistance programs","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Supplemental Security Income (SSI)"],"type":"Rule","volume":75}
