          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improving Employment Options for DI Beneficiaries Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to periodically determine the&amp;nbsp;jobs that&amp;nbsp;exist in significant numbers in the national economy, for purposes of&amp;nbsp;Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) eligibility, in a manner that accounts for the full range of work in the national economy, including in emerging industries. The SSA must report to Congress about the results of each determination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under current law, in order to qualify for SSDI,&amp;nbsp;applicants must generally&amp;nbsp;be unable to perform any kind of substantial work that exists in significant numbers in the national economy. SSA has historically relied on the Department of Labor's &lt;em&gt;Dictionary of Occupational Titles&lt;/em&gt; to make these job determinations, which has not been updated since 1991.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
