In the debate over restructuring Social Security it is important that policy makers appreciate all aspects of the program. This includes the disability and survivors benefits, in addition to the retirement benefits. These aspects of the program must be explicitly considered in any changes that are made. It is not sufficient to simply assert that these parts of the program will be left intact, if the changes to the retirement program make the disability and survivors' programs unviable, either economically or politically.
