I have seen people get there (back pay) and think they hit the lotto,, new TV;s,, cell phones for everyone in the house and when its all gone they wonder where it all went and no bills got paid that were backing up and then there back in the same shape they were before

I paid off most of my bills with the backpay but still have 2 CCS to pay off. As long as I don't have a car or house payment,I should be ok. I never received a COLA when I worked and the last job I worked,there was probably never going too be another raise so having a SSDI COLA is all good for me and everyone else. Most of the COLA money would probably go right back into the economy.

ssdi is a disability insurance policy. the premiums are paid by payroll taxes, half from you and half from your employer unless you are self employed or a consultant. its not a helping hand or welfare program. contrary what some politicans think its not an entitlement program.
