no workmans comp, just ssdi and company's private plan. They say that they pay 70% of your base salary minus any ss benefits. Since ssdi pays part of the benefits directly to my wife and kids for their loss of me, it doesn't make sense that they take that out of my wage. It seems like some kind of garnisment penalty, even though i stress that all my money goes to them anyway. What i'm geting at is should my employer not take off the money that ssdi gives to my wife and kids because it is a part of ssdi's package for me becoming disabled. It seems like a penalty towards me, because i got sick. I think that the company should be paying me the promised 70% of my base wage and the "extra" that ssdi pays to my wife and kids should be looked at as helping to make up the 30% (actually 50% when bonus is considered) that i lost from becoming disabled. Is this clear, now? cs
