beneficiaries to have worked more in recent years, create a new demonstration project for experience - rating the SSDI payroll tax, update eligibility requirements, prevent double - dipping between SSDI and

Insurance mean that three quarters of
beneficiaries are now required, after six weeks of
unemployment, to accept a job outside their usual occupation, with a salary 20 - 30 % lower and up to an hour away from their home.
