                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
               CHAPTER III--SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
 
PART 416--SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME FOR THE AGED, BLIND, AND DISABLED--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart D--Amount of Benefits
 
Sec. 416.405  Cost-of-living adjustments in benefits.

    Whenever benefit amounts under title II of the Act (part 404 of this 
chapter) are increased by any percentage effective with any month as a 
result of a determination made under Section 215(i) of the Act, each of 
the dollar amounts in effect for such month under Secs. 416.410, 
416.412, and 416.413, as specified in such sections or as previously 
increased under this section or under any provision of the Act, will be 
increased. We will increase the unrounded yearly SSI benefit amount by 
the same percentage by which the title II benefits are being increased 
based on the Consumer Price Index, or, if greater, the percentage they 
would be increased if the rise in the Consumer Price Index were 
currently the basis for the title II increase. (See Secs. 404.270-
404.277 for an explanation of how the title II cost-of-living adjustment 
is computed.) If the increased annual SSI benefit amount is not a 
multiple of $12, it will be rounded to the next lower multiple of $12.
