In his latest PA Law Weekly article, “The Social Security Disability Program is Senselessly Under Attack,” Partner Tom Giordano, Jr. combats the false notions about Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) that have flooded the media and politics.
Tom reminds readers that SSDI is funded by their own money, and it is not going bankrupt. There are simple solutions to keep it functioning properly, but partisan politics are preventing these solutions from coming to fruition. He also urges policymakers to focus on the crucial issues, such as lengthy processing delays for applicants due to lack of support and the absence of long-term planning in the Social Security Administration.
