                established in regulations as the Secretary deems 
                appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this title.
    ``(B) In any case in which an individual's disability is based in 
whole or in part on a medical determination that the individual is a 
drug addict or alcoholic, such individual's benefits based on 
disability under this title which are otherwise payable for any month 
preceding the month in which application for such benefits is made 
(pursuant to section 202(j)(1) or the last sentence of section 223(b))

benefits based on disability under this title for any month after such 
period, the person must continue to comply with the terms, conditions, 
and requirements of such treatment and with the requirements imposed 
under paragraph (4), until the month in which the Secretary determines 
that the person has recovered from such condition.

paragraph (2), no benefit based on disability shall be paid under this 
title for any month ending after such failure and before the person has 
completed 2 weeks of such treatment.

under this title becomes payable for any month after a month for which 
such benefit was not payable under subparagraph (A), and who thereafter 
fails to continue treatment as required by paragraph (2), no benefit 
based on disability shall be paid under this title for any month ending 
after such failure and before the person has completed 2 months of such 
treatment.

under this title becomes payable for any month after a month for which 
such benefit was not payable under subparagraph (B), and who thereafter 
fails to continue treatment as required by paragraph (2), no benefit 
based on disability shall be paid under this title for any month ending 
after such failure.
    ``(4) For purposes of this subsection, the term `benefit based on 
disability' of an individual means a disability insurance benefit of 
such individual under section 223 or a child's, widow's, or widower's 
insurance benefit of such individual under section 202 based on the 
disability of such individual.
    ``(5) Monthly insurance benefits under this title which would be 
payable to any individual (other than the disabled individual to whom 
benefits are not payable by reason of this subsection) on the basis of 
the wages and self-employment income of such a disabled individual but 
for the provisions of paragraph (1), shall be payable as though such 
disabled individual were receiving such benefits which are not payable 
under this subsection.
    ``(6) The Secretary shall provide for the monitoring and testing of 
all individuals who are receiving benefits under this title and who as 
a condition of such benefits are required to be undergoing treatment 
and complying with the terms, conditions, and requirements thereof as 
described in the preceding provisions of this subsection, in order to 
assure such compliance and to determine the extent to which the 
imposition of such requirements is contributing to the achievement of 
the purposes of this title. The Secretary may retain jurisdiction in 
the case of a hearing before the Secretary under this title to the 
extent the Secretary determines necessary to carry out the preceding 
sentence. The Secretary shall annually submit to the Congress a full 
and complete report on the Secretary's activities under this paragraph.
    ``(7) The Secretary, in consultation with drug and alcohol 
treatment professionals, shall develop standards for drug and alcohol 
treatment programs, and in consultation with States, shall develop 
guidelines to be used to review and evaluate the progress of 
participants in such programs.''.

(42 U.S.C. 426) is amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(i) For purposes of this section, each person to whom a benefit 
for any month is not payable by reason of section 225(c) shall be 
treated as entitled to such benefit for such month if such person would 
be entitled to such benefit for such month in the absence of such 
section.''.

        sesquicentennial of the Civil War that includes recognition of

                War;
            (2) explore the causes of the Civil War to gain a better

        without resorting to war;
            (3) fully examine and reflect on the consequences of the

                a result of long-term post-war policies;
                    (C) the concomitant constriction of equal rights 
                for African-American citizens; and
                    (D) the ultimate economic recovery of the region 
                and the extension of civil rights for the descendants 
                of enslaved peoples almost a century later;
            (4) assist States and national organizations with programs 
        and activities for the observance of the sesquicentennial of 
        the Civil War;
            (5) assist in ensuring that any observance of the 
        sesquicentennial of the Civil War is inclusive and 
        appropriately recognizes the experiences and points of view of 
        all people affected by the Civil War; and
            (6) provide assistance for the development of programs,
