From a press release:
House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08), Social Security Subcommittee Chairman Ron Estes (KS-04), and Work & Welfare Subcommittee Chairman Darin LaHood (IL-16) announced today that the Subcommittees on Social Security and Work & Welfare will hold a joint hearing to discuss barriers to work and how policymakers can support opportunities for individuals with disabilities to establish, renew, or strengthen their connection to the workforce. The hearing will take place on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM in 1100 Longworth House Office Building.
Republican ideas for removing “barriers” have sometimes included time limited disability benefits. I think they regard the lack of compulsion to return to work as a “barrier.”I do not expect anything coming out of this hearing that would genuinely help anyone drawing benefits.
By the way, when are they going to reschedule that hearing with the Commissioner? Ever?

I'm sure the corporate tax rate not being low enough will be identified by this brain trust as a "barrier" to work. 🙄🙄🙄🥱
Frank is too busy with with his prayer team to testify before Congress.
We know it's only a matter of time before Republicans put a 2 year time limit on disability benefits.
