The Think Differently Database Act, which mandates the creation of a comprehensive national resource database for individuals with disabilities and their families, was signed into law by President Joe Biden on January 4, 2025. This bill aims to be a game-changer by centralizing essential information on government benefits, Medicaid waivers, Social Security (SSI/SSDI), and other planning resources into one accessible platform.

The database could significantly reduce the challenges many families face when searching for answers and resources regarding disability related topics. While there is no official timeline for the launch, this legislation marks a major step in the right direction in ensuring that individuals with disabilities, caregivers, and families across the country can find the resources and support they need.
