Social Security disability pilots with income protection
If enacted, Social Security would keep testing disability pilot programs through December 31, 2030, and projects would be allowed to run until December 31, 2031. These changes would start January 1, 2027. If you join a pilot, your total income would not be reduced because you joined. Participants would have 120 days, up from 90, to make any required choice, and each pilot would need clear evaluation metrics. Admin costs would be paid from Social Security’s admin funds, and participant benefits would be paid from the Old-Age and Survivors or Disability Insurance Trust Funds, as the Commissioner decides.
