Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) at 70

In honor of Disability Pride Month and the 70th anniversary of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), the Academy brought together leaders from across the disability, retirement, and health care policy worlds to honor SSDI as a cornerstone of economic security for disabled people and to look ahead at what the next chapter of disability policy demands of us.

We heard from:

  • Kenrya Rankin, Disability Culture Lab
  • Maria Town, American Association of People with Disabilities
  • Kathleen Romig, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
  • Sharon Lewis, Aging and Disability Health Policy Lab

A huge thank you to our friends at Atticus, whose support made this gathering possible.
