Fairness for Disabled Young Adults Act
To amend title II of the Social Security Act to increase the age threshold for eligibility for child's insurance benefits on the basis of disability.
Summary
The bill increases the age threshold for disabled adult children to receive child's insurance benefits under Social Security from age 22 to age 26. Currently, disabled adult children of Social Security beneficiaries can receive benefits based on their parent's work record until they turn 22. This change would extend that eligibility to age 26, allowing disabled young adults to receive benefits for four additional years. The bill makes corresponding amendments to related sections of the Social Security Act to implement this age increase across the relevant benefit programs.
