The number of people who receive Social Security Disability benefits have been decreasing since 2010.  Where is the crisis?

Social Security’s is turning 80!  Since the retirement program was enacted in 1935, it has expanded in important ways. The disability component, introduced later, is a now critical piece of Social Security, and ensures that those who aren’t able to work have a  small measure  of protection. Now is the time to ensure that the Social Security programs remain strong for our future.  I’m joining with other NOSSCR  members in honoring this anniversary and a calling for1 the program’s protection in the future.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted 25 years ago, yet we are still discussing the same issues for people with hearing loss. The terms “disability” and “access” have morphed into just meaning physical disability and physical access. Source: Hearing Loss, the Forgotten Disability | Janice S. Lintz
