Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act


Great news! The Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act, H.R.
8884, was passed by the House on Thursday, July 23. This bill authorizes the
Social Security Administration to conduct demonstration projects, similar to
the one that would be created by the Blind Americans Return to Work Act,
within the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. The House
bill has been transmitted to the Senate where we are hoping that it will be
passed via unanimous consent.


How to Take Action


*	Read the full legislative alert for further details
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=44040&qid=12872709> .
*	Call your two senators. To find the contact information for your
specific senators' offices, please use the attached Senate spreadsheet.
*	Email your two senators and copy Jesse Shirek at jshirek at nfb.org

Sample Script


"My name is [YOUR NAME] and I want to urge [SENATOR NAME] to support the
passage of the Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act, H.R.
8884, via unanimous consent. This bill will authorize the Social Security
Administration to conduct demonstration projects within the Social Security
Disability Insurance (SSDI) program.

An example of one of those demonstration projects is proposed in the Blind
Americans Return to Work Act, which, if implemented, would help numerous
blind Americans gradually phase out of receiving SSDI benefits. Please
support the Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act."

We suggest a subject like: "Please support the passage of the Removing
Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act, H.R. 8884, via unanimous
consent"
