## Summary

**This bill would create a 10-year demonstration to test a new system for classifying Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries, with targeted review schedules meant to improve program integrity, administrative efficiency, and work outcomes.** - People on SSDI would be sorted into four medical categories and face continuing eligibility reviews on schedules tied to those categories. Review timing would range roughly from about 2 years for shorter-term conditions to 7–8 years for the most permanent conditions. - The Social Security Administration would run a Revising Disability Classifications Demonstration for 10 years beginning one year after enactment. The agency could use randomized selection, limit appeals to factual errors, and apply the demonstration rules instead of some current procedures for participating individuals. - The Commissioner must report to Congress starting three years after enactment and then every two years. Reports must evaluate effects on program integrity, the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, average benefit durations, employment outcomes for participants, and administrative efficiency.
