Michael Liner appears to be a social security disability advocate providing information and guidance on the disability benefits application process. The most important thing happening lately seems to be changes and updates to the social security administration's policies and procedures. Specifically, the social security trust funds are projected to run out of money in 2034, which could lead to automatic benefit cuts if Congress doesn't act.
