Laporte Case Study
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Oakland, California) Many individuals cheered President Trump's decision to put a hiring freeze in place for the federal government. Those doing so often fail to realize the far reaching effects of a decision like this. In fact, Bloomberg reports this freeze may make the current backlog for Social Security Disability Insurance Claims and Appeals even worse. Currently, the backlog stands at 526, but fewer employees could extend this time frame.

People recognize the Social Security Administration has problems. Candidates hvaen't been vetted thoroughly, administrators haven't made this problem a focus and more. Unfortunately, a hiring freeze won't help in these situations, and many hope the agency will request an exemption to the hiring freeze for those handling the backlog. Only time will tell if this takes place.
"Anyone attempting to file a new social security disability claim or appeal the denial of an existing one needs to speak to an attorney immediately. Any delay is harmful, and more paperwork is accumulated during the waiting process. This slows the claim even more. We work to ensure those in need of this help get it as soon as possible, so they can move on with life and focus on getting better. That's what the program is designed to allow them to do, when recovery is possible," LaPorte declares.
