Quiver AI Summary
New Bipartisan Legislation Proposed: U.S. Senators Maggie Hassan and Susan Collins have introduced the "We Can’t Wait Act," aimed at assisting individuals with terminal illnesses or serious disabilities to access their Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits more quickly. This legislation allows eligible individuals to bypass a five-month waiting period in exchange for a small reduction in their monthly benefits.
Senators' Statements: Senator Hassan emphasized the need for timely benefits, stating, “People diagnosed with a terminal disease... should not be forced to wait five months.” Senator Collins described the bill as “straightforward, compassionate, and fiscally responsible,” aimed at respecting SSDI's financial integrity while meeting urgent needs.
Key Features of the Act: The legislation maintains the actuarial balance of the SSDI Trust Fund and does not alter existing eligibility criteria or benefit levels for those who choose not to bypass the waiting period.
