If Congress does not come to a consensus on the current Social Security dilemma, millions of Americans living with a disability will see their monthly federal benefits shaved from $1,130 to $900.
The Social Security disability benefits program is facing abrupt cuts, according to the 2015 Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Federal Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund, released Wednesday.
Given that the DI trust fund, intended to provide assistance to people with disabilities, has decreased by 30 percent in each of the last fiveyears, it is projected to run dry by early 2017.
