Bill overview
The Immediate Access for the Terminally Ill Act aims to provide quicker access to Social Security disability benefits for individuals with incurable terminal illnesses. It allows those on the Compassionate Allowance list to receive benefits without a waiting period, provided they apply during a specific timeframe. The bill also prohibits receiving both Social Security disability and unemployment benefits simultaneously and increases the threshold for collecting overpayments on disability benefits.
