Obama Disability Benefit

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the “ARRA”) has been all over the news since President Obama signed it into law on February 17, 2009. The ARRA has a provision that is of particular import to those people who are currently receiving Social Security Disability (“SSD”) or Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”) benefits. By June 2009, the 60 million SSD and SSI beneficiaries should receive a one-time payment of $250.
