Bill 118 s 4555, also known as the "Child's Insurance Benefits Eligibility Act," aims to make changes to title II of the Social Security Act. Specifically, the bill seeks to raise the age threshold for individuals to be eligible for child's insurance benefits based on disability.
Currently, individuals who are disabled and under the age of 22 are eligible to receive child's insurance benefits under the Social Security Act.

Overall, the Child's Insurance Benefits Eligibility Act is aimed at improving the social safety net for individuals with disabilities and ensuring that they have access to the support they need to thrive.
