Shelton’s Freedom Disability to lay off 47 workers

Shelton-based SSC Disability Services LLC, doing business as Freedom Disability, will lay off 47 workers next week, according to the state Department of Labor.

The social security disability advocacy company filed a notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with the Department of Labor earlier this month, which shows the layoffs will happen April 3. The notice also shows the company will not close its facility.

A call to the company Friday went unanswered.

SSC Disability Services assists residents in preparing applications for social security disability insurance and supplemental security income benefits. It was founded in 2003, and its headquarters is on Forest Parkway in Shelton.
