Comments on: Family leave pay, borrowed from future Social Security benefits? https://www.overlawyered.com/2018/03/family-leave-pay-borrowed-future-social-security-benefits/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Thu, 22 Mar 2018 15:21:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: cecil https://www.overlawyered.com/2018/03/family-leave-pay-borrowed-future-social-security-benefits/comment-page-1/#comment-348292 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 15:21:39 +0000 https://www.overlawyered.com/?p=69555#comment-348292 Sounds like they want SSA to get into the short term disability insurance racket… So if you’ve put off your retirement five years, What happens when you’re in an accident and lose both arms when you’re 41? Do you have to wait five years for disability? Do you go to ssa retirement at 62 or 67 assuming you’re still on disability? There is a lot of complexity involved in what dates you are eligible for what depending on your exact circumstances. And they keep playing with the retirement dates after the fact, So at some point you putting it off three years thinking 67 – 70 might actually turn out to be 75 – 78…
I still love KISS, keep it simple stupid. 😀

What could go wrong?
