美国社会保障局周二宣布，将14种病症纳入其快速通道残疾补贴名单，这将帮助患有这些病症的申请人加快领取福利的流程。
这项被称为“同情津贴”的计划于2008年推出，旨在加快罕见、危及生命或其他严重疾病患者的残疾索赔审批速度。该局周二表示，加上此次新增的病症，该名单目前共包含314种疾病，已帮助120万人成功获批残疾补贴。
据一家律师事务所介绍，社会保障局会通过技术手段扫描残疾申请，筛查是否包含同情津贴名单上的病症，这类申请通常可在数日内获得审批。而美国社会保障局的数据显示，普通残疾申请的审批流程通常需要6至8个月。
社会保障局局长弗兰克·比西尼亚诺在一份声明中表示：“同情津贴计划简化了繁文缛节，让我们能够为那些被诊断出改变人生的重症、且急需救助的人群提供支持。”
新增的病症包括罕见儿科疾病和神经疾病，例如主要影响女童的遗传性疾病艾卡尔迪综合征，以及部分罕见癌症，例如原发性心脏肉瘤。
以下是新增至社会保障局名单的病症：
- 腺苷琥珀酸裂解酶缺乏症——新生儿型和1型
- 艾卡尔迪综合征
- 贝雷特-温特综合征
- 比尔-史蒂文森皮肤褶皱综合征
- 博林-奥皮茨综合征
- CASK相关基因 disorder
- 肝脾T细胞淋巴瘤
- 拉福拉病
- 婴儿恶性游走性部分性癫痫发作（MMPSI）
- OPHN1综合征
- 原发性心脏肉瘤
- 原发性颅内恶性黑色素瘤
- 葡萄膜黑色素瘤——伴转移
- 瓦尔堡微综合征

The Social Security Administration said on Tuesday that it is adding 14 conditions to its fast-track disability list, which can help people with these conditions speed up the process of receiving benefits.
The program, known as the Compassionate Allowances list, was created in 2008 to accelerate disability claims for people with rare, life-threatening or other severe medical conditions. The list, which counting the added illnesses now includes 314 conditions, has helped 1.2 million people receive approval for disability benefits, the agency said on Tuesday.
Social Security uses technology to scan disability applications for conditions on the compassionate allowances list, and those applications often receive approval within days, according to one law firm. A typical disability application can require between six and eight months to receive approval, the Social Security Administration has said.
“The Compassionate Allowances initiative cuts through red tape and allows us to deliver support to individuals who experience life-changing diagnoses and need help fast,” Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano said in a statement.
The new conditions include rare pediatric and neurological disorders, such as Aicardi syndrome, a genetic condition that primarily affects girls, and some rare cancers, such as primary cardiac sarcoma.
Here are the new conditions added to the Social Security Administration’s list:
- Adenylosuccinate Lyase deficiency – Neonatal Form and Type 1
- Aicardi syndrome
- Baraitser-Winter syndrome
- Beare-Stevenson cutis gyrata syndrome
- Bohring-Opitz syndrome
- CASK-related gene disorders
- Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma
- Lafora disease
- Malignant Migrating Partial Seizures of Infancy (MMPSI)
- OPHN1 syndrome
- Primary cardiac sarcoma
- Primary intracranial malignant melanoma
- Uveal Melanoma – with metastases
- Warburg micro syndrome
