Just watched a video on cnn news this morning about social security disability running out of money in 2016.It stated that the social security disability program is in serious trouble and will run out of money by 2016 which is only 3 short years away.people receiving benefits now will begin to loose benefits in 2016.

I don't know what video you watch but Social Security is funded, as of today, for another 25 years and that doesn't count contributions made in the future. Sounds like ** fear tactics, IMHO.

As always, limit political discussions per our site guidelines..

regular social security god or 25 years. ssdi good to 2016. it's just number fudging. they will likely come up with a new equation to have it last a lot longer.

99% positive that doesn't mean an end to SSDI, they will just have to find another way to fund it.

However, they do have to do something about the rampant abuse in the system

There is no way they can cut our SSDI payments and not cut welfare! It blows my mind when they call SSDI a
Intitlement program! How is it a intitalment when I paid into it for so many years , and if I had not they would tell me to pound sand! The people would not stand for a cut in SSDi unless they are willing to cut welfare in half! The welfare people did not par crap
