This is a RULE not a LAW. The Congress gave the Social Security Administration the power to create rules.
They are going to report to the FBI those who receive payment for Mental Health reasons.
This is expected to go into the Federal Register for public review and comment this week (today).
I know it was discussed in the past here on NWFA

" The Social Security Administration (SSA) is proposing to report people who receive disability benefits and have a mental health condition to the FBI's background check system.
The proposal, which stems from a memorandum that President Obama issued in 2013, would essentially block some people with severe mental health problems from buying guns.
The SSA, which will propose the rule in Thursday's edition of the Federal Register, says it plans to notify disability beneficiaries who might be reported and establish a process for them to appeal their placement in the FBI's background check system. "
" The public has 60 days to comment about the proposal. "
