Disability Employment Incentive Act This bill expands tax credits and deductions that are available for employers who hire and retain employees with disabilities. The bill expands the work opportunity tax credit to include the hiring of employees who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. For employers who hire vocational rehabilitation referrals, Supplemental Security Income recipients, or SSDI recipients, the bill also (1) increases the amount of wages that may be taken into account for the credit, and (2) allows an additional credit for second-year wages. With respect to the tax credit for expenditures by eligible small businesses to provide access to disabled individuals, the bill increases the limits that apply to (1) the amount of expenditures that are eligible for the credit, and (2) the gross receipts and full-time employees of eligible small businesses. The bill also expands the tax deduction for expenditures to remove architectural and transportation barriers to the handicapped and elderly. The bill modifies the deduction to (1) increase limitation on the amount of the deduction, and (2) allow the deduction to be used for certain improvements in the accessibility of Internet or telecommunications services to handicapped and elderly individuals.

Social Security Administration - Continuing Disability Reviews We agree that the Social Security Administration (SSA) is required by Congress to perform periodic Continuing Disability Reviews (CDR) on recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Title II Social Security benefits awarded on the basis of disability. We also agree with SSA that no changes to the current Medical Improvement Review Standard are appropriate. However, we have significant concerns about SSAs proposal to perform more CDRs, more frequently. Given a lack of data or evidence to change the CDR process, we found the proposed rule so vague commenters cannot do so in a meaningful way. We urge SSA to withdraw this rule since it fails to comply with the Administrative Procedure Act. United Spinal submitted its own comments and endorsed comments of the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Social Security Task Force. Support SSI Restoration Act - H.R. 4280/S. 2753.
