(Reuters) -The Social Security Administration has ​scrapped a plan that ‌would have stopped thousands of Americans ‌from qualifying for disability benefits, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar ⁠with the ‌decision.

The policy would have changed eligibility for ‍two federal disability programs by either eliminating or limiting the age ​of the claimant as a ‌factor for consideration, the report said.

An announcement had been on track to be made in the Federal Register ⁠as soon as December,​ the Washington ​Post said.

The White House did not immediately respond ‍to ⁠a request for comment from Reuters.
