Social Security Disability Insurance Return to Work Act
This bill establishes new disability classifications (medical improvement expected, likely, possible, or not expected) to help determine when individuals might be able to return to work. It requires periodic disability reviews (every 5 years for "medical improvement possible," every 10 years for "medical improvement not expected") and limits benefits for those with expected or likely improvement to 23 or 59 months, respectively. The bill creates a "Return to Work" process allowing eligible individuals to gradually return to employment while receiving adjusted benefits, with benefits reduced by 50% of earnings above substantial gainful activity levels. Additionally, it increases funding for disability reviews and creates a tax credit for employers hiring disability beneficiaries.
