Today, Congressman French Hill (AR-2), alongside eleven other Members of Congress, sent a letter to Carolyn Colvin, Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), requesting that SSA work with Congress to develop innovative demonstration projects to help individuals with disabilities return to work.

The members stated:

“The recently passed and signed into law Bipartisan Budget Act provides the Social Security Administration (SSA) with the authority to develop and implement additional demonstration projects to help disability applicants and beneficiaries return to work. As SSA begins to develop these new programs, we encourage you to work with Congress, congressional committees of jurisdiction, and experts and scholars that have offered recommendations to develop effective and innovative projects that will get people off of the disability rolls and back to work.”
