Default Recidivism Reduction Act: Asking Disability be reinstated while in prison

Here is a link for a bill before Congress (Recidivism Reduction Act
Bill # H.R.2829) that addresses inmates being able to request their disability benefits be reinstated while they are still in prison, rather than having to wait until after their release date. It's for those whose benefits were stopped after being incarcerated. If you input your zip code, it will select your state Congressman and allow you to fill a form to email your representative.

I wasn't sure what to write, so I just wrote I would like him to support the bill and that it would allow those who are mentally ill to have funds available upon release to pay for their medications, doctor appt, etc. and how important it was that they stay on their medications.

If you write, be sure to include the Bill Number. It won't allow me to post a link until I have 25 posts, you might have to copy and paste this into your browser.
