Why the New Bill for Disabled Americans is Turning Heads

The House of Representatives took a decisive step this week to empower Americans with disabilities who want to work.

House lawmakers passed legislation that renews the Social Security Administration’s ability to test practical reforms and remove the bureaucratic traps that keep too many people on the sidelines.

H.R. 8884, the Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act, sponsored by Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., cleared the House by a vote of 232-188.
