The Work-Credit Cliff No One Warns You About
For many people, the idea of disability insurance carries an implicit promise. If you work, contribute, and then become disabled, there will be a system that recognizes both your effort and your need. That promise feels intuitive, almost moral. Yet for a large group of disabled people, the promise collapses the moment they try to access it. They discover, often far too late, that eligibility is not determined by disability alone, but by a specific employment history they were structurally unlikely to accumulate in the first place. This is the work-credit cliff, and it quietly excludes some of the most vulnerable people from support while maintaining the appearance of a fair, contribution-based system.
