The Immediate Access for the Terminally Ill Act aims to improve access to disability insurance benefits for individuals diagnosed with incurable terminal illnesses. The main objectives are to allow these individuals to receive benefits without a waiting period and to establish rules regarding the concurrent receipt of disability and unemployment benefits. One of the key provisions of the Act is that individuals with terminal illnesses listed on the Compassionate Allowance list can apply for disability insurance benefits and start receiving them immediately, without the usual waiting period.
