I don't even have enough hours to collect SSDI because I was a stay at home mom for most of my life. I could get SSI I guess if I left school and didn't get an assistantship. I need to get some work hours under my belt for if/when I might need SSDI in the future.. ggrr...

They think you just wake up some morning deciding you don't feel like working any more, go to the "Disability Office", sign up (no doctor's note necessary), pick up your first check and a note for your boss.

You take the note to your employer, clean out your desk, and go happily on your way. All before 9:00 a.m. Easy-peasy. Golly, why didn't I think of that?


I know exactly what you mean, B2Y.

I love it when people ask me "aren't you happy to be away from all the stress at the office?" Ummmm...let me think......oh, the office where I worked and earned a PAYCHECK??? Why yes, not having a paycheck since APRIL is much less stressful, thank you for asking.

Do others honestly not have a clue when it comes to LTD and SSDI? If it were that easy to get and so nice to be on don't they think everyone would be doing it?

I'm grateful that it's there - never thought I'd be using it - but the waiting periods are for the birds. What are we waiting for???? Doom???

When I donate to my alma mater, I'm allowed to tell them where I want my money spent (eg, the field hockey program). Why can't I just say that I want my money to go to B2U when I pay my taxes....Not a bad idea!

hey Kelly - good point ... you know that I've been struggling .. and have come up with something that will bring in an income (eventually) .. while I'm 'waiting' for SSDI ..

so, what will happen if my corporation that will bring warmth and comfort to others becomes a million-dollar enterprise ... then, I wouldn't get the SSDI anyways, right??

oh gosh - I'm so excited to beat the government at their own game and WIN!! LOL
