A bill to eliminate the benefit reduction which is provided for supplemental security income recipients in certain long-term care institutions when such institutions do not meet the standards established by States under section 1616(e) of the Social Security Act, to authorize payments to States to cover the cost of training and compensating personnel to inspect such installations, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the optional State Supplementation Program under title XVI (Supplemental Security Income) of the Social Security Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to furnish States with such information about residential institutions, foster homes, and group living arrangements, in which a significant number of recipients of SSI benefits are residing, as is necessary for the States to establish and enforce standards for such institutions. Deletes the requirement of a reduction in the payment to an SSI beneficiary who lives in such a residence when the residence does not meet State standards. Directs the Secretary, upon finding that the standards established by a State under this Act will assure a reasonable standard of well-being for residents of such institutions, to reimburse the State for the costs of compensating or training of personnel to inspect such institutions.
