## SEC. 2 ELIMINATION OF WAITING PERIOD FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY INSURANCE BENEFITS FOR DISABLED INDIVIDUALS WITH AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS
(ALS)###
(a)In General Section 223(a)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 423(a)(1)) is amended in the matter following subparagraph
(E)by striking “or (ii)” and inserting “(ii) in the case of an individual who has been medically determined to have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, for each month beginning with the first month during all of which the individual is under a disability and in which the individual becomes entitled to such insurance benefits, or (iii)”. ###
(b)Effective Date **[**[42 U.S.C. 423 note](/us/usc/t42/s423)**]** The amendment made by this section shall apply with respect to applications for disability insurance benefits approved after the date that is 5 months before the date of enactment of this Act1. 1Effective on the date of enactment of this Act, section 1(a) of Public Law 117-3 amends section 2(b) of this Act by striking “applications for disability insurance benefits filed after the date of enactment of this Act” and inserting “applications for disability insurance benefits approved after the date that is 5 months before the date of enactment of this Act”. Such amendment should have been to strike “applications for disability insurance benefits filed after the date of [the] enactment of this Act”; however, it was carried out above to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
