The long, slow file
I encourage you to read, if you have not, the cover story in today's Chattanooga Times Free Press, by co-authors Dave Flessner and Pam Sohn. It is the first of a two-part series on the challenges faced by area disabled persons in applying for and receiving benefits through the Social Security Administration.
I look forward to the second installment, too, because I think the story published today leaves quite a few questions unanswered. But it was a good start.
And surely there are ways to make the application process more efficient and have the program better serve the people it was intended to address.
