From Newsweek:
More than 140 lawmakers in the House and Senate have signed open letters hitting out at a "harmful and unjustified" Trump administration proposal that could see thousands of Americans lose their disability benefits.
Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were among those who put their names to the letters calling on the administration to scrap its proposed rule change, which would increase the frequency of disability reviews faced by some benefits recipients if it comes into effect.
The Senate letter was signed by a total of 41 senators. Newsweek understands that more than 100 signatures have been collected on the House letter so far, with more to come. ...
This issue even came up during Sauls testimony today about the SSA robocalls. He was asked point blank about this. The senate is very concerned. Saul didn’t really answer it too much but it seems there has been over 130,000 public comments about it.
ReplyDeleteJust curious too for s your who saw Saul’s testimony, what did you think? He really seemed to not answer too much and just kept referring to his public education campaign. Any specifics he deferred to IG Innis.
A little good news among so much bad. Of course, they were asking overtaxed agencies to to do this with no additional resources.
