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!</div><div><br></div><div>Kindly,</div><div>Melissa</div><div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jul 24, 2024, at 5:02 PM, Dana Trahan via NHLakesChapter <nhlakeschapter@nfbnet.org> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><meta charset="UTF-8"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Hello, my name is Dana Trahan, and I am a constituent of Representative Chris Pappas. I live in Exeter, NH. 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.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in;
