The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program is functionally and financially broken. With average wait times approaching 600 days, too many individuals die while awaiting their benefits. As the system denies benefits for some individuals with rather apparent disabilities, almost half of all benefit awards stem from non-medical factors, such as age, education, and work experience. Furthermore, despite the program’s intent to provide benefits only while workers are disabled, the SSDI program fails to conduct sufficient continuing disability reviews (CDRs).

Social Security’s Disability Insurance (SSDI) program has existed for nearly 60 years. Over that time, it has morphed from a relatively small-scale, anti-poverty program into a massive system that provides benefits to one out of every 20 working-age individuals. Despite its size and expense, the program fails to keep millions out of poverty.
