Words Matter Act of 2023 (H.R. 3111) (This bill would remove outdated terminology in specified statutes by replacing references to mentally retarded and mental retardation with intellectual disability), Words Matter for District of Columbia Courts Act (H.R. 6163/S.3698) (This bill would eliminate the R word from Title 11 of the D.C. Code, replacing the R word with more appropriate and respectful terminology. In 2010, Congress eliminated several instances of the R word from the U.S. Code by passing Rosas Law (P.L. 111-256). Unfortunately, Title 11 of the D.C. Code still has three instances of the R word, and only Congress can amend Title 11 of the D.C. Code), financial marriage equality/marriage equality for people with disabilities (H.R.7055 - EMPSA Act - Eliminating the Marriage Penalty in SSI Act- This bill excludes a spouse's income and resources when determining eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and disregards marital status when calculating the SSI benefit amount, for an adult who has a diagnosed intellectual or developmental disability.
