Right now, people with disabilities approved for Social Security Disability Insurance must wait five months before they can begin to collect payments. Worse, they must wait two years before they can receive Medicare insurance.
That’s unacceptable! These unreasonable waiting periods can lead to catastrophic financial and medical consequences. As a result, persons with a disability are left without the necessary resources to maintain proper health, finances, and housing.
The Stop the Wait Act will eliminate these waiting periods. In doing so, people will be less likely to go destitute, lose their homes, or die while waiting to begin to receive their earned benefits.
We need you to contact your lawmakers and tell them to co-sponsor and pass this important legislation.
Tell your Representatives and Senators to Stop the Wait. It is time to end unreasonable waiting periods for people with disabilities to receive the Social Security Disability Insurance and Medicare benefits they deserve.
There are no officials for you to contact on Twitter.
