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…

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…

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

A2: One example is SSI having “asset tests,” which require participants to keep their resources below a threshold to receive benefits. Disabled people are forced to limit their savings to get aid, trapping them in poverty. #SimplifyTheSafetyNet americanprogress.org/article/how-de…
