I know that not every disabled person collects disability but only social security.  Anyone know why that is? ----- Original Message ----- From: River Wolfe To: quadlist List ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 5:20 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] social security I sent something last week. Nobody seems too concerned on this list, as no discussion followed the post. here it is again. I 've done an exhaustive search on this issue, even though I get state retirement, not SS. This is what I've found, from the President's Commission to strengthen Social Security. Looks like DIsability benefits have been give short shrift in this discussion. We are merely an afterthought. Some may see the language contained in this report as inclusive and reassuring, however the language clearly states that the issue of disability hasn't been well thought out and that no clear plan has even been discussed. What is clear is that there is the intention to separate retirement benefits from Disability benefits. The proposed savings accounts will not be available for withdrawal upon disability. I've tried several times to send this to the list but it won't go. Here's the website and you then go to "reports" it will download the commission's report. http://www.csss.gov/ On Feb 4, 2005, at 4:00 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How will the presidents plan affect our Social Security?
