Social Security Disability Backlog Is Unexcusable

Mike Ervin, a disability rights activist with ADAPT, has written a compelling editorial about the Social Security Disability Backlog, which is forcing most disabled workers to wait for years for benefits.

"We must stop the inexcusable delay in getting Social Security benefits to people with disabilities.

Hundreds of thousands of people who have filed legitimate disability claims with the Social Security Administration have been forced to wait, on average, an astonishing 520 days for a hearing on their claims. Many have waited as long as three years, losing their homes in the process."

Amen. Read on for Ervin's thought-provoking article about the Social Security backlog.
