Bill > HR8884

This bill, titled the "Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act," extends and modifies the authority for demonstration projects related to the Social Security Administration's disability insurance program. Specifically, it pushes back the termination date for these projects from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2031, and revises the deadline for waiving compliance with certain benefits requirements from December 30, 2021, to December 31, 2030, while also increasing the notification period for such waivers from 90 to 120 days and requiring the inclusion of evaluation metrics. The bill also clarifies that administrative costs for these projects will be paid from funds for administering Title II of the Social Security Act, and that benefits paid to participants will come from the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund or the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund. A key provision ensures that individuals participating in these demonstration projects will not experience a reduction in their total income.
