Bill overview
This bill, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act, aims to improve access to disability benefits and Medicare coverage for people living with metastatic breast cancer. It seeks to shorten the typical waiting periods for these benefits, reducing the time individuals must wait to receive support after a diagnosis. Specifically, the bill eliminates a five-month waiting period for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and a 24-month waiting period for Medicare coverage for those with metastatic breast cancer. This legislation intends to provide quicker access to crucial healthcare and financial assistance.
