This legislation, known as the "Fairness for Disabled Young Adults Act," seeks to modify Title II of the Social Security Act. Its primary objective is to raise the age limit for individuals to qualify for child's insurance benefits due to a disability. Specifically, the bill proposes to change the eligibility age from the current 22 years old to 26 years old . This adjustment would allow disabled young adults to receive these crucial benefits for an extended period, providing continued financial support as they transition into adulthood.
