Action alert about SSA qualifications

[Guest guest]

This action alert was passed on by the ARC. I thought it might be

interesting for some here. Kim

Hi Gail,

The Social Security Administration (SSA) proposed a new rule that could

result in many people with disabilities (especially those with low work

skills) applying for disability benefits (Social Security disability

programs and Supplemental Security Income) to be turned down. The agency has

proposed raising the age levels (age categories) it uses for determining

whether an individual qualifies for these benefits. By raising the age

levels, the SSA could determine that the person does not have a disability,

solely for the reason that they have not achieved the appropriate age level.

We need your help.  Click here to take action.  Tell SSA to rescind this new

proposed rule.
