Same as Pickle Amendment. The law (as later modified by the Lynch v. Rank law suit) that extends NMP eligibility and buy-in to persons who receive RSDI benefits but who previously received both RSDI and SSI at the time SSI was discontinued. NMP eligibility is determined by disregarding any RSDI cost-of-living increases received since SSI benefits were closed. The provision applies to persons whose SSI benefits were discontinued after April 1977.
