ASK CONGRESS TO COSPONSOR THE WORK WITHOUT WORRY ACT (S. 2196)
Adults who qualify for Social Security DAC benefits have life-long disabilities (such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or intellectual disability) and often wish to explore their ability to work, particularly as they transition to adult life. However, under current law, some of these young adults fear that if they try to work they will lose future DAC benefits, which are modest and often vital.
The Work Without Worry Act would ensure that young adults with disabilities won’t have to fear that trying to work may jeopardize their future financial security.
We need you to contact your Senators to urge them to cosponsor the Work Without Worry Act.
Thank you for your advocacy efforts!
