118-s-2196 118 s 2196 Work Without Worry Act Social Welfare 2023-06-22 2023-06-22 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance. (Sponsor introductory remarks on measure: CR S2233; text: CR S2233-2234) Senate Sen. Wyden, Ron [D-OR] OR D W000779 10 Work Without Worry Act This bill modifies eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits for individuals who have a disability that began before age 22. Under current law, these individuals may obtain SSDI benefits based on the work record of a retired, disabled, or deceased parent. However, an individual with earnings after age 22 that exceed a specified monetary limit (i.e., constitute substantial gainful activity) permanently loses eligibility for such benefits. This bill allows individuals to retain eligibility for such benefits regardless of the amount of earnings after age 22. Additionally, individuals who apply for SSDI benefits on a parent's record and also independently qualify for Social Security benefits on their own record will receive the larger of the two benefit amounts. 2024-07-24T15:21:24Z
