Work Without Worry Act of 2026
A bill to amend title II of the Social Security Act to eliminate work disincentives for childhood disability beneficiaries.
This bill aims to change the Social Security Act to make it easier for children with disabilities to work without losing their benefits. Currently, if a child with a disability earns above a certain amount, their Social Security benefits can be reduced or stopped. The bill seeks to eliminate these disincentives to encourage more children to work and gain independence.
The bill would affect children with disabilities who receive Social Security benefits and are interested in working. By removing the barriers that reduce or stop their benefits, it would allow them to pursue employment opportunities without financial penalties, potentially improving their quality of life and work experience.
As of July 15, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the Committee on Finance for further review. The next steps will involve committee discussions, possible amendments, and a vote to determine if it will move forward in the legislative process.
