The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program is a major source of income protection for disabled Americans. Private disability plans, especially group long-term disability plans, typically offset for SSDI benefits, so the programs are closely related. In this session, representatives from the Social Security Administration discuss the most recent trends in the SSDI program, including claim patterns, approval rates, administrative considerations and funding projections. This session will be of interest to anyone who practices in the area of disability insurance.
