Detailed Single Year Tables

Category of Change: Level of Monthly Benefits

Proposal Change from Current Law

Proposed Provision: B5.11. Beginning for those newly eligible in 2024, reconfigure the special minimum benefit: (a) The 

number of years of work (YOWs) is determined as total quarters of coverage divided by 4, ignoring any fraction. 

Childcare years are granted to parents who have a child under 6, with a limit of 5 such years. (b) For beneficiaries 

becoming newly eligible in 2024, set the initial special minimum benefit for 30+ YOWs equal to 100 percent of the 

monthly HHS poverty level for 2023. For beneficiaries becoming newly eligible after 2024, the initial special minimum 

benefit is indexed by the AWI. For workers between 11 and 29 YOWs, reduce the special minimum by 3 1/3 percentage 

points per YOW so that at 29 YOWs the minimum would be 96 2/3% of poverty, ..., down to 11 YOWs at 36 2/3% of 

poverty. No minimum for 10 or fewer YOWs.
