Work Longer. Die Sooner. The Government Needs the Money.

Social Security’s new math: work longer, die before the check clears.

The Gist: The White House is floating a rule that would strip “age” out of Social Security disability decisions — or delay it until you hit 60. The translation is simple: if you’re over 50 and can’t work, you’ll be told to keep trying. The government’s balance sheet thanks you.
