Can The Economy Affect Social Security Disability?
You’ve probably been seeing a lot of information lately about Social Security and the economy. But if you’re worried that your benefit amount will be lowered because of the economy don’t worry.
Social Security disability is funded through a dedicated payroll tax that both employers and employees pay into. The economy may have an impact on Social Security fund reserves depending on unemployment numbers and economic conditions. But that won’t have any impact on your particular benefit amount.
