S 4947 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act

This bill extends the authority for a demonstration project designed to help disabled Americans find employment until December 31, 2031. It allows participants in these programs to receive benefits for up to 120 days without losing their eligibility and ensures that their total income will not decrease because of their involvement. The legislation also clarifies that administrative costs for these projects will be covered by existing Social Security administration funds. These changes aim to provide more flexibility and financial security for individuals testing new ways to work while receiving disability support.
