Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 My husband, who is a Financial Planner, mentioned to me that one of the proposals by the new administration is to limit disability and social security to those making under $100K. So, because my husband makes over $100K, I would no longer be able to receive disability, even though I paid into this for 15+ years and provided someone else an opportunity to receive disability benefits that they needed. I'd like to know your thoughts on this. It really bothers me. We all know that it is very expensive being sick. I use this money each month for my disability...my doctors, my meds, physical therapy, and help with my children 2x/week. I can't believe that the current administration would want to penalize someone for making over $100K and clearly contributing to the economy with our income. So, technically, we would have to get a legal divorce in order for my benefits to continue. That's pretty ridiculous! I realize that there are probably a lot of people out there receiving disability benefits that don't need them and shouldn't be receiving them, but this makes no sense....
