While Social Security retirement has been a target of the Congress for quite some time, more recently a legislature bent on cutting so called Federal entitlement programs is now looking at the Social Security Disability program (SSDI). Some legislators view SSDI as a form of “unemployment” benefit, failing to realize that the Title II\SSDI disability program is funded by the same Social Security taxes that a worker has deducted from his pay checks while working. In effect, SSDI is a form of early disability retirement which allows a person who can no longer work to draw his retirement early. They further fail to recognize that just because a person can no longer do his\her past work doesn’t mean that they get SSDI disability benefits.
