Greetings
True or False: The social security administration is providing illegal aliens benefits while 750,000 other hard-working disabled Americans are struggling and languishing in a system setup to make sure no ‘slackers’ would receive benefits?
That statement is…False and That statement is…True. Let me explain.
Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, is funded through the payroll taxes of Americans, but “you don’t have to be an American to receive SSI payments. Like food stamps, Medicaid and almost every other form of social insurance that America has developed to help its citizens, Fox news reports that SSI is targeted by people from other countries as a tool to materially improve their lives without work.”
Social Security taxes that are being paid by those working the United States, may come from any American born and raised on American soil, any American that has been naturalized, or by a person considered a legal immigrant with all of the necessary paperwork and documentation required to stay here and work. On what may seem like a darker side, are the illegal immigrants who are here and receiving benefits. Did you know that there are some illegal immigrants in America that are known to the Immigration System? These people, called in official government terms “PRUCOL” aliens, are those the INS has decided to allow to remain the US for one reason or another.
If any of these people have paid social security taxes, whether in the country legally or PRUCOL, would they not all be eligible on the same terms to collect the benefits? It is a question only you can answer for yourself, but one that has petitions (not exactly worthwhile) circulating throughout email and internet sites and a topic you may find becoming increasingly popular in this voting year.

Understanding Continuing Disability Reviews: Key Updates and Guidance
Welcome to our latest blog post where we delve into the critical topic of Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs), which are essential for individuals receiving disability benefits. The focus today is on recent statistics and personal anecdotes that highlight the ongoing importance of staying informed about CDRs.
What is a Continuing Disability Review?
A Continuing Disability Review is a routine process for individuals who have been approved for disability benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) conducts these reviews to determine if the health of a beneficiary has improved to the point where they can return to work, and thus no longer qualify for benefits.
Recent Case and Discussion
Recently, a case surfaced involving a person who had been receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for end-stage kidney failure since they were 20. Despite their condition remaining unchanged, they received a notification of health improvement at age 50 and were at risk of losing their benefits. This situation underscores the unpredictability and significance of understanding the CDR process.
How CDRs Work
During a CDR, beneficiaries might be asked to complete a short or long form detailing their current health status. The forms are then reviewed, and if further information is needed, a full medical review may be initiated. It's crucial for recipients to respond promptly to any communications from the SSA to avoid complications or cessation of benefits.
Statistics and Trends
In 2022, approximately 1.5 million of the estimated 9 million disability recipients underwent CDRs. Of these, about 125,000 had their benefits terminated. These statistics reflect a consistent review rate, with an apparent annual increase in the number of reviews conducted, emphasizing the necessity for beneficiaries to stay vigilant.
Key Takeaways
Stay Informed: Always keep your contact information up to date and pay close attention to all correspondence from the SSA. Missing a notification or failing to respond can lead to benefit termination.
Understand the Review Frequency: Depending on the expectation of medical improvement, reviews may occur more frequently. Typically, conditions considered likely to improve are reviewed sooner and more often.
Prepare Adequately: If a review is scheduled, ensure all medical documentation is current and complete. Understanding the review process and preparing accordingly can significantly affect the outcome.
Seek Expert Advice: Engaging with professionals who specialize in disability rights and CDRs can provide crucial support and guidance. For instance, next week, we will feature an in-depth discussion with Attorney James Mitchell Brown, a veteran in the field of social security disability.
Conclusion
Continuing Disability Reviews are a standard part of the disability benefits process, but they can be daunting. By staying informed, prepared, and proactive, beneficiaries can navigate these reviews successfully. Remember, the goal is not only to retain benefits but also to ensure that the support aligns correctly with the individual’s current health needs.
