Removing Access Barriers to Running for Elected Office for People with Disabilities Act

This bill applies to people who receive Social Security disability benefits (Title II) or Supplemental Security Income (Title XVI) because of a disability. If such a person runs for federal, state, or local elected office, their work as a candidate would not count when deciding whether they qualify for federal benefits, or how much they receive. Any pay they get for that campaign work would also not count. This rule would also apply to state and local programs paid for in whole or in part with federal money.
