Question Presented (from Petition)

Why does social security applicants have to endure unnecessary subjection of politics and opinions that never derive from the medical facts presented for an applicants case?

42 US. Code § 1382 is part of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program that was implemented to safeguard retired and tenured Us federal, state and county employees, is it enough?

The United States is divided into the bipartisan parties of Republic and Democratic. Are we protected fro either party 's reform policies?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether social security applicants are unfairly subjected to political opinions that deviate from medical facts in disability determinations
