your award.

I dont remember percentages. All I know is they factored in my disability

payments. On disability I only get 500. I pay for my life and health insurance

out of it.

maybe they get a percentage of whatever backpay they can screw you out

of. or maybe theri sticking it in theri pocket and just telling you

that you that you didn't get it. I thought I was the only one that got

screwed on this but it's sounding more like the norm. how would a

person check theri records to find out if back pay was alloted or not?

At least with the State Gov. job I had I have health benefits for life

and no payment since I'm single but a $350 deductible. I recall the

retirement system counselor saying they calculte retirement disability

up to age 67 and if I get the amount he told me, is $600 more than my

normal retirement would have been which I couldn't have lived on. He

said I'd get that for life so I'm confused really about social security

period with or without SSDI what amount I would get. I know my figures

I have on SS the disability amount is the largest amount. I tried

calling the retirement system to ask some questions but all I get is

voicemail and nobody calls back. I hate voicemail and people just

delete them and do not even do their job calling back and answering

questions.

The social security disability amount I have on this sheet they sent me

says I'd get $1094 so that is why I wondered if they would give me less

with me getting retirement disablity and it was calculated more than

regular retirement. I hope the retirement system gets me that letter in

mail this week showing me the amount I will get so I will know for sure

and hoping they have me on payroll already so I do not have to wait

until March 25th for all three paychecks. I'm glad they are paying me

for Jan. since I didn't work that month. That is happening b/c HR guy

put effective date Jan. 1st and I applied end of Oct. but HR guy said

to give them 2 months to approve. Took 3 months waiting for the

evaluation to be sent to the retirement system for the State Bd to

review. That is still way quicker than SSDI and I can't believe they

take so long to approve.
