The 2008 Presidential Election: What the outcome could mean for Social Security Disability recipients

If current trends continue, it is estimated that the Social Security system will be in shambles by the year 2040. With more citizens requiring social security disability each year, something in the system must change to enable disabled citizens to continue to receive their due compensation.

It is especially important in this, an election year, to know where each candidate stands in regards to Social Security and Social Security Disability. Here is where each candidate stands on these issues:

Barack Obama: Obama supports the government's plan to increase payroll taxes as a way to keep SSD and SSI afloat. He also contends that workers making over $250,000 per year will see a 2-4% increase in taxes, which will help fund Social Security.

John McCain: McCain is adamant about reforming Medicaid and Medicare, both of which directly affect Social Security disability. Being a veteran himself, and having experience with Social Security, one hopes McCain would have a vested interest in serving those who require disability benefits.

Call the campaign offices for both candidates if you'd like to know more about what each will do in regards to Social Security disability benefits. This election could have a massive impact on you and your disability benefits.
