We Can't Wait Act of 2024

This bill permits Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries to elect expedited payment of benefits in exchange for a reduction in the amount of their monthly benefit. 

Specifically, the bill allows individuals to elect to receive SSDI benefits beginning the month after the onset of disability. Under current law, individuals generally must wait five months after the onset of disability to begin receiving SSDI benefits.

Individuals who opt to receive expedited payment during the first three years the bill is in effect must accept a 6.1% reduction in monthly benefits. At the three-year point and every five years thereafter, the Social Security Administration (SSA) must recalculate the applicable percentage to ensure no negative fiscal impact to the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund. Changes to the designated percentage may not impact the benefit amount received by existing beneficiaries. 

SSA must make available an online tool for calculating the impact of electing to receive benefits during the waiting period on an individual’s SSDI benefit.

Kids Off Social Media Act

Policy area: Science, Technology, Communications

Summary:

Kids Off Social Media Act

This bill limits children’s access to social media platforms and requires both platforms and schools to implement certain restrictions on children’s social media usage and screen time. 

Specifically, the bill prohibits social media platforms from knowingly allowing children under the age of 13 to create or maintain accounts. Platforms must delete existing accounts held by children and any personal data collected from child users. Platforms are also generally prohibited from using automated systems to suggest or promote content based on personal data collected from users under the age of 17. The bill directs the Federal Trade Commission to enforce these provisions. States may also bring civil actions against platforms whose violations of these provisions have adversely affected residents of the state. 

Further, as a condition of receiving discounted telecommunications service under the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support (E-Rate) program, schools must use blocking or filtering technology to prevent students from accessing social media platforms on school networks and devices. Schools receiving E-Rate support must also implement policies that specify permitted device usage and screen time by grade. Schools must submit copies of their internet safety and screen time policies to the Federal Communications Commission, and the commission must make those policies publicly available in a database. 

Under the bill, 
social media platforms
 are defined as consumer-facing sites that function primarily as forums for user-generated content. Some categories of online platforms are explicitly excluded, including sites that provide primarily videoconferencing, emailing, and educational services.
