I don't know all this stuff about kicking off 60 year olds, but SSDI is going to go bankrupt in 2016. If Congress does nothing, checks will be cut by 20%. I imagine that Congress will wait until the last minute (as usual) to do anything about it.
Some of the GOP Presidential candidates have already spoken about this, namely Paul Ryan. But you're correct that Congress will wait until after the November election next year, primarily because they can't afford to tick off their constituents if they do anything like cut benefits by 20% just before the vote. Nor can they do anything resembling a more permanent fix lest they tick off their billionaire campaign donors who are desperate to privatize SSA for financial gain. The politicians are caught between a rock and a hard place, so the SSDI can will continue to be kicked down the road until early 2017 after the newly elected swear in and take their seats.
Of course, in the meantime, the worker drones will continue to find any and all means to save a few dollars here and there, mostly in an effort to save their own jobs, which means stepping up the CDR process, even reviewing recipients over the age of 60.
Kicking someone off disability within a few years of converting to retirement SSA benefits is cruel, even if those recipients have actually fully recovered from their illnesses. Not one employer will touch them with a ten-foot pole. They will remain unemployable for the rest of their lives. Being over 60 makes it difficult enough to find employment when you're healthy. Now pile on years of SSDI and you've become a total pariah in the workplace.
