Posts - Bill - HR 1757 EMPSA Act
house 02/27/2025 - 119th Congress
We are advocating for the passage of the EMPSA Act, designed to ensure that adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities do not face a reduction in their supplemental security income benefits due to marriage. This legislation aims to support equality and financial independence by eliminating the marriage penalty for these individuals under the Social Security Act.

Sure, because more bureaucratic complexity in Social Security is just what we need...
