Social Security Administration updates disability benefits evaluation, removes obsolete jobs from database.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is updating its evaluation process regarding disability benefits, eliminating obsolete jobs from its database.
Critics have claimed the database, which has not been updated since 1977, is unfair and outdated, containing jobs like reptile farmer, railroad telegrapher, and watch repairer.
After the Washington Post highlighted a case of a rejected electrician claimant, the SSA will remove all but a few unskilled jobs from the database, aiming to improve trust in the process of applying for disability benefits.
