Stop the Wait Act of 2025

Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Bill 119 HR 930, also known as the "Social Security Disability Insurance Waiting Period Elimination Act," aims to make changes to the Social Security Act in order to eliminate the waiting period for individuals with disabilities to receive disability insurance benefits. Currently, individuals with disabilities must wait a certain period of time before they can start receiving these benefits, which can cause financial strain and hardship for those who are unable to work due to their disabilities.

The bill specifically targets titles II and XVIII of the Social Security Act, which govern disability insurance benefits. By eliminating the waiting period, individuals with disabilities will be able to receive the financial support they need more quickly, allowing them to better cope with the challenges of living with a disability.

In addition to eliminating the waiting period, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to disability insurance benefits. These additional provisions are not specified in the summary, but may include changes to eligibility criteria, benefit amounts, or other aspects of the disability insurance program. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 HR 930 is to provide more timely and effective support for individuals with disabilities who rely on disability insurance benefits to meet their financial needs. By removing the waiting period, the bill aims to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities and ensure they have access to the resources they need to thrive.
