The purpose of this legislation is to improve access to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments for individuals diagnosed with terminal illnesses. It aims to provide financial support during the waiting period that these individuals currently face before receiving full benefits. Key provisions of the legislation include a phased-in payment structure for SSDI benefits. Under this plan, individuals with terminal illnesses will receive a partial benefit of 50 percent for the first month and 75 percent for the second month after their disability is determined.
