Intro: A family member wants to sign up for Social Security early due to health issues (mostly due to poor self-care). He quit his last job a couple of years ago and has been scraping by on his military pension. Now he says he’s suing to get Social Security and disability benefits, and found some lawyer that’ll take his case on contingency. Good effin’ luck, buddy. Your timing sucks.
Even if the Social Security Administration can keep payments flowing to existing beneficiaries despite these cuts, the rollbacks will still harm people seeking benefits.
