Summary of Bill S 466

Bill 119 s 466, also known as the "Child's Insurance Benefits Improvement Act," aims to make changes to title II of the Social Security Act. Specifically, the bill seeks to raise the age threshold for eligibility for child's insurance benefits based on disability.

Overall, Bill 119 s 466 seeks to improve the child's insurance benefits program under the Social Security Act by increasing the age threshold for eligibility for disabled children. This change is intended to provide greater financial security and support for disabled children and their families.
