Disability Benefits in the News

Lately, Social Security Disability has been under attack in the media. Social Security Disability has been portrayed as a waste of government spending. Many myths have been propagated, such as, “It’s easier than ever to get Social Security Disability benefits” and “the recession is causing a rise in applications.” The truth is that it’s now more difficult than ever to get Social Security Disability benefits as regulations have become more stringent. Also, applications are on the rise due to an aging population and an increase of women in the work force. Do your part to help protect the future of the Social Security Disability program and present those who repeat these myths with the facts. Learn more at www.Nosscr.org.
