Mission

The Task Force on Social Security monitors activity regarding the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) income support programs. It proactively seeks solutions to issues affecting SSDI beneficiaries and SSI recipients, including disincentives to work, coverage of children with disabilities, legal immigrants coverage, and linkages to related programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
