Eliminates marriage penalty for Supplemental Security Income benefits for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

The EMPSA Act amends title XVI of the Social Security Act to ensure that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities are not reduced due to marriage. This change applies to individuals who meet specific income and resource criteria. The bill modifies the deeming rules to exclude the spouse's income and resources when determining the individual's eligibility and benefit amount.
