Provisions For Special Benefits To Certain World War II Veterans
The Foster Care Independence Act also establishes a new title VIII of the Social Security Act that entitles certain World War II veterans to a monthly SSI benefit. "Every individual who is a qualified individual... shall, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this title, be entitled to a monthly benefit paid by the Commissioner of Social Security for each month after September 2000 (or such earlier month, if the Commissioner determines is administratively feasible) the individual resides outside the United States." Qualified individuals are considered individuals who:

- Are eligible for a supplemental security income benefit under title XVI
- Have a total benefit income that is less than 75 percent of the Federal benefit rate under title XVI
