if someone retires from one job after 35years,53 year old, they had a high yearly income, maxing FICA withholding every year, starts work at couple other lower paying job for 3 years on the books, and now currently works a cash only job.
i am wondering how this would affect their applying for ssdi if they got injured or became ill? would they screw themselves? just looking at interesting scenarios that no one thinks to look at unless they have been through the ssdi/disability mill.
