Social security is an instantly-recognizable term in this country. In short, it is a government insurance program established in 1935 by FDR to provide for individuals who are unable to work due to age or disability. Since its initial inception, it has been modified countless times with subsequent legislation, but the core thrust of the program remains the same.

Working individuals have social security taxes deducted from their income. In theory, this money is then kept by the government to be paid out at a later time when an individual is no longer able to work. In practice, the system does not pay for itself, resulting in a much faster turnover of money—money paid in by currently-working individuals is quickly sent out to the retired and disabled. This approaching bankruptcy has been the subject of much debate and media coverage in recent years.

Any Springfield MA social security claim can be intimidating, confusing, tedious, and frustrating. The size and scope of the Social Security Administration means that the bureaucracy runs quick thick. Additionally, specialized terminology, conditional rules, and occasionally counterintuitive policies can complicate matters. Attention to deadlines, open communication, and careful record-keeping can each go a long way for individuals with Springfield MA social security cases.
