When signed into law on August 10, 1939, by President Roosevelt, the 1939 amendments extended benefits to dependents and survivors of workers covered by Social Security. Dependents included an aged wife, a child under 16 (under 18 if attending school), a widowed mother caring for an eligible child, an aged widow, and a dependent aged parent if there were no eligible widow or child.

This is one of the worst articles I’ve read in a while. I’m not sure why this person decided to write an article about disability that they didn’t research beyond historical context. (it’s so Janky there isn’t even a date on it. I thought the reference to 2016 was a typo and they meant 2026 until I went to make a comment and saw that it was from 2013. Lol oops.)

I don’t understand why they are perplexed about how a disability determination is made that would be easy enough to look up online without even having to talk to anyone.

They’re genuinely confused about how one person can have diabetes that doesn’t affect their job and another person can be disabled by diabetes which makes me wonder if they even understand there’s a type one and a type two and they are both very different.

If they truly believe that a sitdown job can be done by people who can’t lift they should go look at some of the help wanted ads. I was looking for those types of jobs for years. I’m not supposed to lift or carry more than 10 pounds but for some reason trying to be a paralegal or admin assistant I was required to be able to frequently lift 50 pounds. What?

But it was interesting to see them acknowledge that in times of record unemployment disability applications go up. I don’t think that’s people scamming I think that’s people with limitations who need accommodations realizing that when there are record numbers of people applying for jobs employers aren’t going to choose the person with health issues. Shocking I know.

I’m pretty positive this is why it took so long for me to get approved. I applied in January 2013 and the economy had still not fully recovered from the housing market crash. What was happening in 2012 was that people were starting to max out their unemployment in the area I lived in, so I guess the disability determination unit in the state decided that I was applying for disability just because unemployment was running out.

Also this author clearly has never heard of the ticket to work or trial work period amounts. Lots of people on SSDI work because we can without it affecting our benefits as long as we don’t earn more than like $1100 a month this year. Even people on SSI work because the SSA doesn’t count the first $25 or something that they make and then after that they only withhold one dollar for every two dollars earned.

And yeah if I’m a single parent with a kid with major health issues I’m not going to be able to work because I have to take care of that child. That’s why people get disability for their kids. Not because they are afraid their kids aren’t earning money in first grade, it’s because when they have to leave work in the middle of the day to pick up their child who bit someone else or hit a teacher or had a diabetic reaction that almost put them in a coma, their boss doesn’t like that.

I don’t even understand the point of them writing that people on disability don’t get raises, we actually do every January. And it’s pretty equivalent to what I used to get for raises at work. $.50 an hour, yeah that works out to be about what my disability COLA is if I was working 40 hours a week. I guess this “journalist” never heard of COLA?

But what SHOULD be fixed is that full time on minimum wage is SO LOW that it’s actually below the substantial gainful activity amount that would determine your disabling condition actually disables you. I don’t think it’s supposed to be set up in a way that if I earned minimum wage I would automatically be making such a small amount I would qualify for disability. That doesn’t seem right but that’s how it is.

Sorry for my rant this is literally the worst article I’ve ever seen written about disability because they refused to do any research about what the program entails.
