Fairness for Disabled Young Adults Act
This bill raises the age limit for certain Social Security disability benefits from 22 to 26 years old. It directly affects disabled young adults who currently lose eligibility for these benefits at age 22, allowing them to continue receiving support until age 26. The key mechanism is amending specific sections of the Social Security Act to replace "age of 22" with "age of 26" in multiple provisions governing child's insurance benefits and supplemental security income. These changes apply to existing benefit programs without creating new ones. The bill focuses on extending current support for young adults with disabilities during a critical transition period.
