The proposed rule change is expected to increase the number of disability reviews and cut benefit payouts by more than $2 billion.

Biden Urged to '#TellTheTruthJoe' About Calls for Social Security CutsUnder the new Trump administration proposals, the disability reviews used to check whether a person is eligible for disability benefits would become more frequent in many cases.

President Trump's team expect that the change will lead to 2.6 million more reviews being conducted between 2020 and 2029, and a $2.6 billion drop in benefit payments over the same period. The extra reviews are also forecast to cost $1.8 billion under Office of Budget, Finance and Management predictions., but only later picked up by the media. A 60-day deadline for commenting on the rule change was also extended, taking the closing date to January 31.

Sandra Remilien from Florida wrote:"The data are clear. This policy is both cruel and harmful and there is no basis for it. I strongly urge the SSA to withdraw this proposed rule."

Is there anything that the government won't mess with or shall i say ef up....

There is MASSIVE fraud and waste and millions of people who were given 'disability' status under the Obama administration for things such as anxiety, drug problems, drinking problems. Taxpayers like me are stuck paying for this b.s. Trump aims to remove the deadbeats.

These are most likely the types of people that Trump is aiming to take off of disability. Frauds, freeloaders, deadbeats, and junkies

I used to date an ex heroin addict who qualified for 'disability ' because she did a court ordered stint in rehab for theft. She then received government provided checks AND a prescription for Suboxone for free which she sold on the street for $$$ and used that to buy herion.
