BRIDGE for Young-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Act of 2025

This bill would change the Social Security Act so that people with young-onset Alzheimer's disease do not have to wait the usual five months before receiving Social Security disability insurance benefits. It would also remove the usual 24-month waiting period before these individuals can get Medicare coverage. Young-onset Alzheimer's would be defined by the Social Security Commissioner in the agency's Program Operations Manual System or a later document. The disability change would apply to applications filed starting 5 months before the law is enacted, and the Medicare change would apply to months after enactment.
