A resolution recognizing the significance of equal pay and the pay disparity between disabled women and both disabled and nondisabled men.

S. RES. 825 is a Senate resolution recognizing the significant pay gap between disabled women and both disabled and nondisabled men. It cites data showing disabled women earn, on average, just 50 cents for every dollar paid to nondisabled men, with even wider disparities for disabled women of color (e.g., 44 cents for disabled Latinas). The resolution highlights systemic barriers like occupational segregation (overrepresentation in low-paid jobs), discrimination, inadequate support services, and public benefits work disincentives as key drivers of this gap. While not creating new laws, the resolution aims to formally acknowledge these inequities and reaffirm the Senate’s commitment to addressing wage disparities for disabled women.
