Blind Americans Return to Work Act


The National Federation of the Blind, the transformative membership and
advocacy organization of blind Americans, urges the members of the House of
Representatives and the Senate to cosponsor the Blind Americans Return to
Work Act, H.R. 1175/S. 4334. 

This bill will help eliminate the Social Security Disability Insurance
(SSDI) earnings cliff by instituting a two-for-one phase out of benefits
where every two dollars earned over the substantial gainful activity
threshold will cause a one-dollar reduction in a beneficiary's monthly
payment.


How to Take Action


*	Read the full legislative alert for further details.

spreadsheets.

Sample Script


"My name is [YOUR NAME] and I want to urge [REPRESENTATIVE/SENATOR NAME] to
support the Blind Americans Return to Work Act, [H.R. 1175/S. 4334]. This
bill will eliminate the SSDI earnings cliff and incentivize more blind
Americans to work in higher-paying and more productive jobs, which will in
turn reduce dependence upon government benefits over time. Please cosponsor
the Blind Americans Return to Work Act."

We suggest a subject like: "Help get more blind Americans back to work by
cosponsoring [H.R. 1175/S. 4334].
