This bill, the Expedited Disability Insurance Payments for Terminally Ill Individuals Act of 2026, aims to provide more immediate financial support to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. It proposes a phased-in approach to benefit payments, gradually increasing the amount received over the initial months of eligibility.
