HR 2579 United States House · 119th Congress

Reduce Duplication and Improve Access to Work Act

This bill allows states to transfer funds from Social Security disability programs to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I workforce development programs. It sets a limit of up to 15% of transferred funds for statewide workforce activities and requires states to submit a single combined plan covering both programs. The policy directly affects states administering workforce programs by streamlining funding access and reducing administrative overlap. The changes take effect October 1, 2026, and aim to improve coordination between disability and job training systems.
