Proposed Provision: Beginning for those newly eligible in 2018, increase the special minimum benefit to 100 of poverty by: (a) The number of years of work (YOWs) is determined as total quarters of coverage divided by 4, ignoring any fraction. Up to 5 additional years with a child under 6. (b) Set the PIA for 30+ YOWs equal to 100 percent of the monthly HHS poverty level for the year prior to eligibility. 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.
