The benefit cut would start now and grow over time, making it increasingly hard for people with disabilities to afford to live in their homes and communities as they age. Washington should address the nation’s budget challenges in responsible ways, not by cutting benefits for people with disabilities.

People with disabilities would face deep benefit cuts. The chained CPI would cut benefits more with every passing year, and many people with disabilities begin relying on Social Security payments at a young age. A 35-year-old disabled worker who receives average disability benefits would see his or her benefits reduced annually by $886 at 65 and $1,301 at 80.

The chained CPI is less accurate. The chained CPI assumes that when the cost of something you normally buy goes up, you will substitute a lower-cost item. This theory falls short because many people with disabilities spend a large share of their income (around $4,200 a year on average for Medicare beneficiaries with at least one disability) on health care — and its cost rises faster than inflation and doesn’t have lower-cost substitutes.
