At Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers, we are dedicated to keeping our clients and the community informed about significant changes to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. July and early August 2025 brought two significant developments that could have a substantial impact on current and future recipients. These changes include an expansion of the Compassionate Allowances list, which streamlines disability approvals, and a new overpayment recovery policy that could reduce monthly benefits by up to half for some recipients.
