Social Security Disability Benefits Prediction of Running Out by 2017

In a report from the Business Insider, estimates predict that Social Security disability benefits could run out of money by 2017. With so many disabled Americans depending on these benefits, the need for Congress to act is vital.

Not only is there the risk of disability benefits not being paid but it is also predicted that Social Security's retirement fund will also run out about 2 decades afterwards.

Driving the force of these depleted benefits are the aging baby boomers and unemployed Americans. Those applying for Social Security disability benefits have increased by almost 50% in the last decade. With the shaky economy and lack of job opportunities, it is not expected to change much.

However, this isn't the only problem. Many Americans are depleting benefits because of double-dipping, receiving Social Security and unemployment benefits at the same time. Although it is legal, it is draining the system.

With the growing number of people applying for Social Security disability benefits, the backlog has been growing as well. It is not uncommon for a claimant to wait 2 years or longer before seeing a resolution to their case.

This is why it is in your best interest to seek legal counsel when you are applying for Social Security disability benefits or appealing a claim that has been denied. Speak to a Plantation Social Security disability lawyer for help.
