S 5454: Small Business Audit Correction Act of 2026

The Small Business Audit Correction Act of 2026 amends the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to exempt certain small, privately held securities firms from mandatory audits by registered public accounting firms under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) oversight. The bill defines these eligible firms as "non-carrying" brokers or dealers that do not hold customer funds or securities and have no more than 150 registered representatives. To qualify for this exemption, a firm must also be in good standing, which requires maintaining specific financial capital ratios, having no recent regulatory orders or felony convictions, and remaining free from suspensions by industry associations. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB are directed to update their regulations within 180 days of enactment to implement these changes, allowing qualifying firms to satisfy audit obligations through standard generally accepted auditing standards rather than PCAOB-specific requirements.

HR 10496: Revising SSDI Disability Classifications Act

The Revising SSDI Disability Classifications Act extends the authority for existing Social Security disability demonstration projects through 2036 or 2037 and establishes a new 10-year pilot program to test revised disability categories. This bill directly affects individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance benefits by creating four distinct classification groups based on the severity of their impairment and the likelihood of medical improvement. The key mechanism involves adjusting the frequency of continuing disability reviews, with those classified as having permanent conditions reviewed less often than those expected to recover within a few years. While participants in the demonstration project generally cannot appeal their specific classification except for factual errors, the program aims to evaluate whether these changes improve administrative efficiency and labor force participation. The Commissioner of Social Security must submit regular reports to Congress detailing the pilot's impact on program integrity, benefit duration, and employment outcomes.
