Social Security Deletes Obsolete Jobs Used to Deny Claims

The Social Security Administration is eliminating more than 100 obsolete jobs from its list of occupations it used for years to deny disability benefits to Americans under claims that they could earn money by finding jobs in those fields.

The agency had been using federal labor market data that in some cases had not been updated in almost 50 years, and some of the jobs that are now eliminated were "notorious examples of our failure to stay up to date," according to Commissioner Martin O'Malley.

  1. If it is that out of date it is time for an update

  2. Lots of disabled vaxx-tards are on deck for social security disability payments. This will hasten the crash of the american empire.

  3. I was told by some "expert" via a speaker phone during my hearing that i qualified to be a gate keeper. I leaned over to my attorney (who's is a really good man) and said "You mean like the dude from ghost busters"? He actually laughed out loud.

  4. Good. I know it couldn't be because of the recent SC decision, because there's no bureaucracy the moves that fast, but I would imagine someone saw the writing on the wall for the agencies not being able to make their own rules out of thin air, or in this case from old data.

  6. The article cites "Commissioner Martin O'Malley".

    AKA former Baltimore mayor, Martin O'Malley, which tells you just what this will end up looking like once it has passed through its Thunderdome stage.

  7. From the article: Some such jobs no longer exist, while others have switched to being performed through animation or overseas labor.

    Animation? Shouldn't that be "automation"? Otherwise, they'd have to add 46th president to the list.

    1. Remember the good ol' days when news publications relied on human editors rather than spelchek?
