Lets disabled Americans get Social Security benefits sooner, even during their waiting period.
Disabled Americans would get the option to receive their Social Security disability benefits sooner, even during the usual waiting period. This means they wouldn't have to wait months without income, though their early benefits would start at a slightly reduced rate. The Social Security Administration would update forms and create tools to help people make this choice.
Today, disabled individuals must typically wait five full calendar months after being approved before they can start receiving Social Security disability benefits. After this bill, disabled individuals would be able to choose to receive disability insurance benefits during that waiting period. Their benefit would initially be 94.25 percent of their full amount, and the Social Security Administration would provide tools to help them understand this choice.
