Social Security disability backlog

Every two weeks the federal government takes money out of your paycheck for insurance, in case you ever become too sick to work. It's called Social Security Disability Insurance.

The system is so backlogged it takes years to receive the benefits.

Imagine being diagnosed with a devastating illness, losing your job, going through your savings, then your retirement and finally losing your home.
