Given this administration’s track record and how much is at stake for disability beneficiaries, we must ensure that we conduct oversight into their plans, so qualified disability beneficiaries are not harmed. ... We will be watching closely to ensure no one is dealt a bad hand from an administration that already tried to kick hundreds of thousands of Americans off the disability benefits they earned through a lifetime of work.

Larson committed to continued oversight of the administration's handling of Social Security disability continuing disability reviews to protect qualified beneficiaries from harm.

Evidence

SSA announced it would move medical CDR processing from state DDS agencies to federal Disability Case Review, while saying eligibility rules would not change.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Confirms the underlying Trump-era federalization of medical continuing disability reviews and SSA's stated position that the operational shift should not alter eligibility standards. It does not itself prove Larson oversight or beneficiary impact, so the status remains unresolved absent candidate-specific follow-through.

SSA OIG testimony describes a June 10, 2026 House Ways and Means hearing on SSA oversight and budget, addressed to Ranking Member Larson, with material on DDS processing and CDR-related anti-fraud work.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Shows a post-transition congressional oversight forum involving Larson's subcommittee role and SSA operations affecting disability processing. This supports partial fulfillment of the promise to watch closely and conduct oversight, but does not specifically document Larson questioning the CDR federalization or prove qualified beneficiaries were protected from harm.

SSA did federalize medical continuing disability review processing in March 2026, and Larson, as Ranking Member on the House Ways and Means Social Security Subcommittee, participated in a June 10, 2026 oversight hearing on SSA operations and budget that covered disability processing and CDR-related program-integrity work. That shows contemporaneous oversight activity within his federal office context. However, the evidence does not show Larson specifically pressed SSA on the CDR federalization decision or that his oversight ensured qualified beneficiaries were not harmed, so full delivery is not established.
