No Tax on Restored Benefits Act

# No Tax on Restored Benefits Act (HR 7361) Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would prevent the federal government from taxing certain benefits that have been restored or reinstated to individuals. Essentially, if someone had their benefits cut off and later had them restored (such as Social Security, disability payments, or other federal assistance), this bill would make those restored amounts tax-free. The goal is to avoid a situation where people owe taxes on benefits they receive after a period without them. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects individuals who receive federal benefits and had those benefits temporarily suspended or terminated before being restored.

This could include Social Security recipients, veterans, people receiving disability benefits, or others who depend on federal assistance programs. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 7361 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Representative Lance Gooden (R-TX) but has not advanced to a floor vote or been passed. **Note:** The bill's specific details regarding which benefit programs would be covered are not fully detailed in the available information, so interested parties should review the full legislative text for comprehensive coverage details.
