Mark Miller writes for the New York Times about the challenges that a new occupational information database presents for the Social Security disability programs. He’s not sure what’s going to happen but feels something is coming sooner or later. I agree with him on this. Ominously, he expects that now supposedly withdrawn revisions to the agency’s regulations that would make it dramatically more difficult for older people to be approved for disability benefits will come back at some point. I strongly doubt that such a thing will ever be politically feasible; maybe if Republicans win an overwhelming victory at the polls next year but that’s unlikely.
