Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends the Social Security Act to establish a 20-year demonstration project for blind individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. Under the project, eligible blind beneficiaries would have their disability determination made without regard to substantial gainful activity, and their benefits would be reduced by $1 for every $2 earned above the exempt amount and work-related expenses, rather than terminating benefits entirely. The project would also eliminate the trial work period and allow beneficiaries to continue receiving benefits based on earnings alone.
