Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act

# Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (HR 4771) — Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill aims to expand competitive employment opportunities for people with disabilities. It would increase support and funding for programs that help individuals with disabilities find and maintain jobs in regular workplaces alongside non-disabled coworkers, rather than in separate sheltered workshops. The bill focuses on transitioning people from disability benefit programs into the regular workforce by providing job training, placement services, and other supportive services. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects people with disabilities receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), as well as state vocational rehabilitation agencies and disability service providers who would help implement these programs. **Key Provisions:** While specific details aren't listed in the summary provided, bills with this title typically include funding increases for employment services, modifications to work incentive programs, and requirements for states to expand transition services.

The bill emphasizes "competitive integrated employment"—meaning jobs in mainstream businesses at competitive wages. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 4771 remains in committee and has not been voted on by the full House. It was introduced in the 119th Congress (2025-2026).
