Ends waiting periods for disability and Medicare for people with metastatic breast cancer.
People with metastatic breast cancer would no longer have to wait for Social Security disability benefits or Medicare coverage. This bill would remove the current waiting periods, allowing them to access crucial support sooner. This change would align their access to benefits with those who have ALS.
Today, individuals with metastatic breast cancer must wait to receive Social Security disability benefits and typically wait 24 months for Medicare coverage. If this bill becomes law, these waiting periods would be eliminated for them, allowing quicker access to financial support and health insurance.
