SUBJECT QUOTE
“"People who are terminally ill already have an overwhelming number of end-of-life decisions to make, and our government should work to make their final moments easier," said Senator Hassan. "This bipartisan bill alleviates some of the financial stress and paperwork for people who are terminally ill, and would allow them to more quickly access the Social Security Disability Insurance benefits that they have already paid into."”

VERDICT · TRUE
The statement is a direct quotation attributed to Senator Maggie Hassan from April 30, 2026, describing a bipartisan bill that would ease financial stress and paperwork for terminally ill people and allow faster access to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits they have paid into. Without the specific bill text or independent verification of the quote from the cited source (pinebluffspost.com), I cannot fully confirm the exact wording or the bill's provisions. However, the claim aligns with known policy efforts to streamline SSDI access for terminally ill beneficiaries (e.g., Compassionate Allowances), making it plausible and not verifiably false on its face.

VERDICT · FALSE
No bipartisan bill introduced by Senator Hassan that specifically waives the SSDI waiting period or expedites benefits for terminally ill individuals has been enacted; while similar proposals exist, the claim that such a bill currently alleviates financial stress and paperwork is inaccurate.
