Federal policies implemented in 2021 led to notable progress in the fight against poverty, but data show that persistent economic disparities, by gender, race, and ethnicity will only be closed through permanent investments.👇 (1/7) americanprogress.org/article/the-la…

@CAPDisability A5: I could spend more time with my kids and actually getting the healthcare that I need if I didn't have to spend so many of my spoons on getting/keeping my disability benefits. #SimplifyTheSafetyNet #spoonie #cripthevote

A7: There are policy recs in our @CLASP_DC report on advancing disability equity for people with Long COVID in #SNAP & #TANF. Congress should remove work requirements, remove CDR requirements, & increase funding for local navigators. #SimplifyTheSafetyNet clasp.org/publications/r…

A7: President Biden’s executive order on customer experience with the govt is a great start to reducing these burdens. Disabled Americans deserve access to the basic supports they need to function in the modern world. More below. #SimplifyTheSafetyNet americanprogress.org/article/how-de…

@CAPDisability A4: Policymakers may be influenced by harmful stereotypes and narratives about disabled people. They may see disabled people as "fakers" or "burdens" on society, leading to policies that serve to weed out what policymakers think are undeserving applicants. #SimplifyTheSafetyNet

A6: There is no one-size-fits-all solution to administrative burdens, but one excellent change is for federal agencies to coordinate and create a universal federal application process among safety net programs. #SimplifyTheSafetyNet americanprogress.org/article/how-de…

@CAPDisability Q2: "The fact that I needed a lawyer, it took me a long time to wrap my head around. Because what other federal benefits do people receive that you need to hire a lawyer for? I thought, ‘This doesn't make any sense." americanprogress.org/article/how-de… #SimplifyTheSafetyNet

A3: Exactly. Administrative burdens can make folks feel disempowered and stigmatized when applying for benefits. By forcing benefit applicants to jump through so many hurdles, it implies a lack of trust in the person and an assumption of wrong doing. #SimplifyTheSafetyNet

@CAPDisability A2: America’s SS disability programs use one of the strictest definitions of disability in the developed world & are notoriously difficult to apply for, due to complex forms & a multi-step disability determination process that leaves many lost in red tape. #SimplifyTheSafetyNet
