Social security: does it have a future?

Linda Miller Calandra. ORL Head Neck Nurs. 2006 Summer.

Abstract

Social Security has been available to Americans since 1937. The current administration is proposing a system overhaul to avoid a predicted bankruptcy by 2017. Nurses are frequently asked to help patients understand benefits or to complete disability paperwork. Nurses can also influence future legislation. This article will review the current Social Security System and attempt to explain the proposed changes.
