S.3316 - Immediate Access for the Terminally Ill Act (Introduced in the Senate on November 15, 2023)
This bill was introduced in the Senate on November 15, 2023. This bill will amend title II of the Social Security Act to allow disabled individuals with incurable terminal illnesses listed on the Compassionate Allowance list to receive disability insurance benefits without a waiting period, to prohibit concurrent receipt of disability insurance benefits and unemployment insurance, and for other purposes. If an individual elects to receive a disability insurance benefit. the amount of such benefit for any month shall be equal to 93 percent of the amount otherwise determined for the individual. If the Commissioner of Social Security determines that decreasing a payment under this title to an individual by 100 percent would defeat the purpose of this title, the Commissioner may decrease such payment by a smaller amount, provided that such smaller amount is not less than 10 percent of the amount of such payment.
