thomas Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Somewhere in the news today a Mr. Rose, student affairs official, stated that SUNY B has over 2000 students with a disability. Kind of hard to fathom. It does seem there are lots of folks that are "disabled". Overall, there are about 42.5 million Americans with disabilities (850,000 per state), making up 13% of the civilian noninstitutionalized population, according to U.S. Census Bureau data from 2021. In December 2021, there were 9,243,999 people receiving Social Security disability benefits as disabled workers, disabled widow(er)s, or disabled adult children.

2pelo Honey Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Why you see so many youngsters w/ blue tags driving around. I’ve also heard a lot of immigrants get these benefits b/c of kids/grands with autism. They learn quickly where the fast, easy money is.

ginger Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Statistics. It takes 84% of SUNY BINGHAMTON students 6 years to complete a 4 year degree. And then they wonder why there's so much debt...that they want forgiven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
