Claimants and some beneficiaries of the Social Security and SSI disability benefits will be impacted by the recent health care reform legislation, the “Patient, Protection and Affordable Care Act,” which was signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010. A good source for information about the law is available on the Kaiser Family Foundation health reform website, http://healthreform.kff.org/. Two useful documents are: (1) Summary of New Health Reform Law, www.kff.org/healthreform/8061.cfm; and (2) Health Reform Implementation Timeline, www.kff.org/healthreform/8060.cfm.
