Speed up the process for reviewing denied government benefit appeals.

One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.

Known asExpedited Appeals Review ActEARA

What’s happening with Expedited Appeals Review Act?

The Expedited Appeals Review Act passed the House and has been in the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources since February 11, 2026. The Senate must now decide whether to hold a vote on the bill, but the binding constraint is the need for 60 votes to advance legislation in that chamber. Historically, most bills that pass the House do not receive a vote in the Senate, making the future of this effort uncertain.
