The Social Security Administration (SSA) reports that in December it sent informational notices to 30,704 of the approximately 140,000 members of the plaintiff class in Clark v. Astrue.

Seventy-seven years ago on August 14, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. Of all presidential actions in the 20th century, this is the one that has the greatest impact on most Americans today.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has filed the outlines of its implementation plan with the court in compliance with the court’s order. NSCLC has prepared a document that can be used in educating clients who may be affected by the case.

NSCLC applauds President Barack Obama for his position in support of same sex marriage. For many low-income older Americans, many of the rights enjoyed by heterosexual couples prevent the impoverishment of a spouse when death or illness strikes.

As many as 140,000 Americans nationwide will get their Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits restored as a result of Clark v. Astrue. The benefits in question date back to October 2006 and may total $1 billion.
