[NHLakesChapter] Please cosponsor the Blind Americans Return to Work Act, H.R. 8878

[Abbotts]

Hello NFB Team,

Please help. I am confused about the benefits of H.R. 8878 and the risk of potentially losing my SSDI benefits. I can't work enough due to my disabilities to recapture income that would support my medical expenses and healthcare needs. I am in fear of loosing my SSDI, how does this benefit me?  Thank you for your support!

Kindly,
Melissa

I would like to urge Representative Chris Pappas to cosponsor the Blind Americans Return to Work Act, H.R. 8878. This legislation will eliminate the SSDI earnings cliff by instituting a two-for-one phase out of benefits for any income earned above the substantial gainful activity threshold for blind Americans. This will create a true work incentive for all blind Americans currently on SSDI.
