Pass the Access Technology Affordability Act

The National Federation of the Blind urges both the House and Senate to pass the Access Technology Affordability Act (ATAA), H.R. 1529/S. 1918. This legislation would create a refundable tax credit of $2,000 for use over a three-year period to help blind Americans afford the high cost of qualified access technology.

Since 2017, we have worked to secure this tax credit because we believe it will help blind Americans obtain the access technology needed to search for jobs, apply for work, and maintain steady, fulfilling employment. With more of us working, we would contribute more to the federal government through income and payroll taxes while becoming less dependent on government benefits.

Our advocacy during the Washington Seminar has already secured multiple cosponsors, and we are committed to building on that momentum. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot and push for passage, especially given the major emphasis on government savings, which we are confident the ATAA will help facilitate.

Your involvement is essential to advancing this legislation. Please call or email your representative today and urge them to cosponsor the Access Technology Affordability Act.<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=42021&qid=12319674>
