Summary of Bill HR 930

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.

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.
