August 1, 2026 marked the 70th anniversary of the Social Security Disability Insurance program. Since it’s enactment in 1956, SSDI has provided critical financial support to millions of Americans with disabilities.

Despite significant improvements to the program, the SSDI process is long and complicated for most. Modica Law Firm has handled SSDI cases for over 30 years. We would be honored to represent you or someone you care about should you need to apply for SSDI.

The Social Security Administration recently announced that Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits for 75 million Americans will increase 2.8% in 2026.

Over the last decade, the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increase has averaged about 3.1 percent.

The Social Security Act ties the annual COLA to the increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.
