This bill aims to restore access to Social Security (Title II) and Supplemental Security Income (Title XVI) benefits for individuals who faced significant difficulties in applying due to an undue hardship . It mandates that the Commissioner of Social Security deem individuals to have applied for benefits on an earlier date, specifically the later of when the hardship occurred or when they met eligibility requirements. This provision applies to hardships experienced between January 20, 2025, and January 19, 2029. The legislation broadly defines undue hardship to cover various systemic and operational issues during this period. These include changes in Social Security Administration operations, such as those attributed to the United States DOGE Service, Special Government Employee Elon Musk, or Trump Administration officials. It also encompasses problems like staffing shortages leading to long telephone wait times, technical issues with SSA websites, and operational changes requiring internet access or transportation to appointments. Further definitions of undue hardship include being falsely declared dead, confusion due to misinformation about Social Security rules, or other issues interfering with benefit applications as determined by the Commissioner. The Commissioner is required to identify affected individuals and establish a program for them to notify the agency of their hardship. For those impacted, the bill also modifies the waiting period for disability insurance benefits and ensures that any retroactive payments do not affect eligibility for other federal or state assistance programs. Additionally, the bill mandates the Comptroller General to submit a report detailing the actions and changes implemented by the Social Security Administration between January 20, 2025, and January 20, 2029. This report must assess the effects of these changes on beneficiaries and customer service, and provide recommendations to address any resulting damage.
