The normal process of aging comes with some signs of slowing down, but a cluster of behavioral changes may indicate a condition known as canine cognitive dysfunction. In this Age of Review and Return, almost 93 percent of all shoppers read reviews before making a purchase. Even though we review before we buy, we often return the purchase after it arrives. Since 2014, there has been a federal law allowing disabled persons who are getting government assistance like Supplemental Security Income payments (SSI) or Medicaid coverage to accumulate funds into an account that might otherwise disqualify them from such assistance. When originally passed, the person had to have acquired their disability before reaching the age of 26. Congress amended the law, and so effective Jan. 1, 2026, persons can qualify if their disability occurred before reaching the age of 46. Multimedia
