disability insurance payments?
Yes ... I believe that FedEx is reducing my LTD (dollar for dollar) to account for my Social Security Disability Income (SSDI). I make much of that back however because my hometown qualifies for a "High Cost of Living Area." Originally Posted by Airbus flex

When I hadn't heard about the status of my SSDI application after 6 months, I called them and asked for an update. They told me that they hadn't started it? I asked if there was anything I could do to help expedite the process and they actually said to me, "Buddy, we're a Government organization, if you want it quicker call your Congressman."
So, I hung up the phone and called my Congressman. The next day I received an email from The Social Security folks saying that my application had been designated a "Congressional Inquiry." The day after that I received an email saying my application had been approved! Ha! (I honestly believe it would have been approved anyway ... eventually)
In LTD good news ... at least I qualify for insurance at the active employee rates.
All-in-all, the LTD gig is a pretty good deal, it's too bad you have to "almost die" to qualify for it
