What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill would change the Social Security system so that the reconsideration step — which is a review you can request if your claim is denied — would no longer be required. It appears to let people skip that step if they choose to, rather than making them go through it before taking further action on their claim. No official summary is available for this bill.
