Revising SSDI Disability Classifications Act

This bill extends the Social Security Administration's authority to run disability demonstration projects through December 31, 2036, with related deadlines moved to 2037. It also directs the Commissioner of Social Security to run a 10-year demonstration project, starting one year after enactment, that sorts participating disability insurance recipients into four categories based on whether and when their condition is expected to improve. Each category would have its own schedule for reviewing whether the person is still disabled, ranging from the 2nd year to the 7th or 8th year after classification. Classifications could not be appealed except to correct factual errors such as clerical mistakes. The Commissioner would report results to Congress, including effects on the Disability Insurance Trust Fund, length of time on benefits, and employment outcomes.
