Language Equity in Social Security Act of 2020

Summary

Language Equity in Social Security Act of 2020 This bill requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to take into account an individual's linguistic limitations, including any lack of facility with the English language, when determining if the individual has a disability for purposes of eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits or Supplemental Security Income.
