From a press release prepared by the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee about a markup hearing for several pieces of legislation:
… We will also consider legislation from Representative Austin Scott that helps disability insurance beneficiaries return to work by reauthorizing the Social Security Administration’s authority to test new approaches that remove barriers for beneficiaries looking to work. …
I don’t know what this legislation is but I doubt it amounts to much. The Ranking Member of the Social Security Subcommittee thinks the legislation poses risks for claimants.

Could be related to the now-discontinued pilot projects BOND and POD. Maybe the idea is to try some new pilot like that again (possibly a more nefarious one?). One of the challenges these projects brought was just that their correct implementation and administration introduced more complexities into the system. These programs went away a while back, but even as recently as this week I'm still dealing with lingering technicalities for a small subset of these cases.
The biggest barrier is disability itself, is it not?
