This legislation, titled the "Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act," aims to significantly improve access to critical benefits for individuals diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer . Its primary purpose is to remove the existing waiting periods that delay access to both disability insurance benefits and Medicare coverage for these patients. Specifically, the bill amends sections of the Social Security Act to ensure that individuals with metastatic breast cancer are no longer subject to the standard waiting periods for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Medicare. This means that, similar to those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), eligible patients would gain immediate access to these essential financial and healthcare services. The amendments apply to applications for disability insurance benefits and Medicare coverage filed or beginning after the bill's enactment, providing timely support to those in urgent need.
