re: Social Security Summary

Sounds like you have a few years to fester over SS withholdings while you age and work, then you do what all other workers except teachers and railroad workers do, you start drawing crumbs from your money pile.

Now consider the possibility you get hurt or disabled, you will really see how sorry the SS system is. Let’s say you leave a $185,000 a year job due to an injury, after 2 years of weekly doctor visits and procedures later, you finally have to face the fact you won’t be able to do the work you were doing nor anything close to that. You can’t draw unemployment because you must be able to perform work to qualify for unemployment, so you have ZERO income now for about 2 years.
You consult an attorney, he looks at your piles of doctor reports and charges and decides he will take your case, if you win, he gets $9200.00 plus administrative fees. He gives you a pile of papers to fill out and he fills out a few and your claim is filed. Weeks pass and one day you get a letter form SSDI telling you your case has been filed and they will be looking at it, and the tell you the first portion of the filing may take 320 days or more.
So that’s another year SSDI incompetence has delayed you from receiving any of the money YOU were forced to pay in. After months and months, you MIGHT hear from SSDI with some questions, if they don’t have obvious grounds to reject you, they drag you out for 230 to 300 more days, “looking into your medical history” which they had access to at that point for over 360 days.
They continue to drag arse around, playing the odds you’ll either be forced to do SOME kind of work to keep from starving and BOOM, they got you, you performed work, you aren’t eligible for disability, you performed work!!
Ha Ha, got you! Or if you can’t be caught trying to earn some money, they’ll wait you out another 250 days for off the wall, ignorant arse reasons, till you finally give up and take a minimum wage job or drop your claim or do something or fail to do something and they say it disqualified you.
They play the odds that most working class people can’t go for 2 to 3 years with ZERO income and not be forced to do something. And if that something can be tracked to you SS number, BOOM again, you’re disqualified.
Now couple this with the daily news of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens just strolling into our country and being automatically enrolled and given SS benefits, welfare, WIC, housing, phones, you name it….it will piss you off right and you’ll have a deeper hate for the SS system.
