you just combined both of our programs into one and since you don’t have anyone on a pension there is no need for the earned income reduction.
feel free to try again.

If you go work somewhere else there is none.

also, does this new policy help anyone who is currently on disability under the old program?

I only know this because I have been dealing with thyroid cancer and have been on and off disability for 5 years.

Then at the end of 180 days you can transition to Long Term, 50%, until 65 or mandatory retirement, no restrictions. But we have an option to not go on Long Term and continue to use sick leave until we run out. We can accumulate 1000 hours of sick leave.

We just don't care.
Why are you on a SWA forum trying to sell us on Alaska disability? SWAPAs contract comparison didn't get the intricacies of the minute details and optional coverages. Great. We get it. We have those too. You are all over our TA discussions posting with wild abandon. We are still hiring this year if you are that interested.
