Social Security

Essentially a contract with all working Americans, this financial "safety net" is one of the largest and most complicated federal bureaucracies.

Even when all goes well, a claim for Disability or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may take nearly eighteen months to be approved for payment.  Within this convoluted structure, even the most qualified applicants may easily get lost in administrative proceedings and unfavorable rulings, shut out by the system they depended on.
