U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (R-TX)
“It’s just plain wrong that those receiving disability benefits who want to work are sentenced to a lifetime of near poverty with no way out. Social Security’s return-to-work efforts are simply failing do their job of helping our fellow citizens find work. We must find ways to help these Americans trade in their disability check for a paycheck that can provide a better life.”
U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security, in announcing the June 19, 2013 hearing encouraging work through the Social Security Disability Insurance program.
