The surge is because so many of the people in between UIC expiration, unemployed, not able to qualify for some entitlements because of too much personal wealth (assets, savings, etc.) are simply to young to even hit the minimum SS age of 62. The only thing left is SSDI, which they seek often and aggressively. They don’t want to have to go back to work at 50-55 and wait for age 62-66
RE: The only thing left is SSDI, which they seek often and aggressively.
The ‘D’ in SSDI is DISABILITY. Are these people really DISABLED?
If not, why the heck are we even considering their applications?
