H.R. 6193 would provide eligible seniors and veterans with an additional $200 monthly payment from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, to help offset inflation costs. The payments would go to recipients of Social Security retirement and disability benefits, Supplemental Security Income, railroad retirement benefits, veterans disability and pension benefits, and Civil Service retirement annuities. Each eligible individual would receive only one $200 payment per month regardless of how many benefit programs they participate in, and the payments would not count as income for tax purposes or affect eligibility for other federal assistance programs. The bill appropriates approximately $112 million for administrative costs across the Social Security Administration, Veterans Affairs, Railroad Retirement Board, and Treasury Department, with all other necessary funds for benefit payments coming from general Treasury funds. Payments must begin within 30 days of the bill's enactment and must cease by July 1, 2026.
