The current status of the United LTD is that any funds received from any other source must be reported and paid back to the LTD fund… for example Social Security disability, Harvey Watt..etc. .. the union will reduce your payout so the sum equals 8k per month or (11k if the injury/illness occurred after 10/21)
If I’m not mistaken the current TA proposal allows you to accept those funds in addition to the benefit.
