Great news, Federation Family! Just this morning, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 8884, the Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act! 

 

This bill authorizes the Social Security Administration to conduct demonstration projects within the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. This may not seem like that big a deal, but it opens the door for us to advocate for the elimination of the SSDI earnings cliff through other avenues in addition to the Blind Americans Return to Work Act. 

 

To be clear, this is a big step in the right direction, but we still need to keep up our advocacy for the Blind Americans Return to Work Act, H.R. 1175. However, if H.R. 8884 passes the Senate and is signed into law, it should make it a lot easier for us to advocate for a demonstration project, like the Blind Americans Return to Work Act, to be implemented.
