Lets people with childhood disabilities work without risking their Social Security benefits.
This bill would make it easier for people who had a disability as a child to work without losing their Social Security benefits. It would change how disability is defined and streamline the application process to ensure they receive the highest payment they qualify for.
Today, people with childhood disabilities might face challenges getting Social Security benefits if they have worked in the past or if their disability was not continuous. After this bill, their past work would not prevent them from being found disabled for benefit purposes, and they would not need to prove continuous disability. The application process would also automatically check for the highest benefit they qualify for, ensuring they receive the best possible support.
