United Spinal signed onto Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Social Security Task Force describing ways to improve work incentives and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits for SSDI. United Spinal Association signed onto a Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Social Security Task Force letter in support of H.R. 3150, the One Social Security Act to the Ranking Member of the Social Security Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, Representative Xavier Becerra, (D-CA 34th). The legislation combines two trust funds, the Social Security Trust Fund and the Old Age and Survivor and Disability Insurance. The Disability Insurance Trust Fund is projected to be depleted at the end of 2016, at which time Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries face a nearly 20% benefit cut unless action is taken. United Spinal Association signed onto a Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Social Security Task Force letter and supports Senator Wyden and Representative Levins Social Security Earned Benefits Payment Act. The bill implements the Presidents proposal to reallocate funds between the Old Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance trust funds to equalize both funds through 2034. The bill will prevent the 20% across the board cut in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) at the end of 2016 and doing so with no cuts to Social Security benefits, eligibility or coverage. Benefit Offset Review United Spinal supports the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Social Security Task Force response to Congress on recommendations regarding review of a Benefit Offset program. The purpose of a Benefit Offset program is to determine the effect of various interventions, in combination with a benefit offset, on employment outcomes including wages, benefits, hours worked, and job retention. Economic security and work incentives must be core concepts within a benefit offset program with $1 benefit offset for every $2 of earnings over the earning disregard threshold.
