The Social Security Administration (SSA) has updated its Program Operations Manual System (POMS) regarding unearned income, with the changes effective August 24, 2026.
This update, specifically to SI 00830 TN 284, stems from a Veterans Administration (VA) regulation change concerning apportionment procedures, which became effective on February 9, 2026. The SSA's revisions clarify the definition of "beneficiary" and its usage throughout the relevant section.
