This will REALLY HONK you OFF

[greenriverman1]

A friend of mine has just lost his job that he had been working for the past 18 years. He is like myself in his 50's. I hope that everything works out for he and his family.

I lost my job two years ago due to illness. Thank God I don't think I have a worry about my home. But the question is who knows what tomorrow will bring for any of us?

When I lost my job I had 20 years of service in. I thought I was safe but I got ill. It has taken two years for me to get my disability retirement. I had to hire an attorney in order to get what was coming to me. I had a disability INS policy that work had provided and that I drew out 25,000 + dollars from. That helped alot. Well think God my retirement has finaly come in. I got $24,217 in back pay they held out $6,616 in Fed taxes (no state) 21.12 for medical ins. So I ended up with a check for 17,579.00 . I inturn had to pay my atty. just under $10,000.00 so I ended up with about $7,600.00. Now here is the kicker the disability ins. co. wants $25,000.00 back because I am now drawing my retirement and according to the policy that I have just received a copy of I have to pay these folks back! $25,000 does not look anything like $7,600.00 DA

Been in your shoes and had to do the exact same thing.........It was just a loan the Disability Company said...So I had to re-pay every cent I got from them...Disability insurance ain't worth a hoot in my opinion......

I know someone personally that this bill will help, and he is by no means worthless, company relocated, lost his nice paying job to someone in Mexico, his hard working, well paid wife ran off with someone who "paid attention to her" He has been working three jobs to try and keep up with his house payement, and the other bills that come with owning a home, and raising his son bye himself, he is now about to lose his house because he cannot keep working 18 hours a day, all the while trying to raise his son to be a sound adult. I think this is a great bill if it helps people like him, and its about time the gubment helps someone who is a citizen, and has worked his whole adult life, to make a better life for himself and his son. He has never asked for anything, and would give you the shirt off of his back if you asked, and he needs this to keep him in his home, cause god knows what he might do if he loses one of the few things he has left. So not everyone this bill will help is worthless.
