Inability to Speak English No Longer Considered in Federal Disability Programs. The U.S.
Social Security Administration (SSA) has removed a Carter-era rule that makes lacking proficiency in English a factor when determining who qualifies to receive federal disability benefits. The new SSA regulation, “Removing the Inability to Communicate in English as an Education Category,” updates a disability rule that remained unchanged since it was first introduced in 1978. From April 27 the SSA will no longer consider a person’s “inability to communicate in English” when reviewing applications, for both Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Social Security Commissioner Andrew Saul said in a Feb. 24 press release that the removal of the English rule was made because being unable to read, write, or speak English is not as much of a barrier it used to be in American society during the 1970s.
