Fairness for Disabled Young Adults Act
Sponsored By: Senator Cassidy, Bill [R-LA]
Introduced
Summary
Expands Social Security child disability benefits eligibility to age 26. It would allow disabled children of an eligible or deceased worker to receive child’s benefits when their disability began between ages 22 and 25. The bill replaces "age of 22" references with "age of 26" across multiple Social Security provisions so the higher limit applies consistently throughout the law.

More Social Security for disabled young adults
If enacted, disabled young adults ages 23 through 25 could qualify for Social Security child’s disability benefits. You would still need to meet SSA rules for disability and dependent status. The change would take effect upon enactment. Households could receive new or resumed Social Security payments if someone gains eligibility.
