My guess is her salary is just a bonus, it’s all the benefits (health insurance is a big one) that come along with a Fed job. This woman may have had long COVID but her current activity level seems to indicate she has recovered enough to be able to work from a desk.


What’s your experience in these kinds of judgements? You don’t know her situation.

She may play tennis for 3 hours a week, but may also need 12 hours a week of other therapies that no employer will accommodate for. She may not be able to sit for prolonged periods of time due to pain or thrombosis risk. She may have cognitive issues. She may need extra rest but “regular office hours” plus any other therapies don’t accommodate for.


You see these people at their best, but I suspect their worst would leave you without words.

Can we stop with judging people against an impossible schedule for work? Maybe she *can* work a desk job but cannot her accommodations for that. Maybe she can’t. You don’t know, so stop with the side eyes. You don’t actually know what her best life looks like. I’m assuming for many people, they best life doesn’t look like a limited life with Long Covid.


Oh give it a rest. If she can travel for vacation to italy she can work from home. There is no condition that isn’t serious enough to prohibit recreational travel to Italy but magically prevents one from doing desk work. Sorry, expect more from yourself and others. She’s now a fraud.


Unless she's going by boat an overseas flight is not a great idea if you're at risk of blood clots. It involves a lot of sitting.


You don’t know if that’s an issue.

Do you worry about “non disabled” people Making the same trip? Because they are also at risk.

NP. You are just dead wrong, and equating disability with "physical disability only." There are so many other disabilities that impact the ability to work, but you're too stubborn to listen.


What conditions would prevent you from working a desk job but not prevent you from traveling to Italy? And don’t say diminished cognitive skills because then she should not be employed anymore in her current position (because she can no longer perform it) and should be on social security and Medicaid (assuming someone with time for tennis and can afford a family trip to Italy could qualify). So stop making excuses for someone who is clearly milking the system.


Do you think employers are clamouring to get people with disabilities to work from home for them? How plentiful
Are WAH positions now that most employers are pushing for more on site time?

This person may have regular things like physical therapy, PICC line flushing, respiratory tech, physicians appointments, etc. that employers don’t want to work around but can be worked around for a 2 week trip.

Say it with me : people with disabilities are still entities to a positive quality of life!!

When I had Covid I was so exhausted I couldn’t WATCH a tennis match on TV. She is fine and now defrauding the gov’t.


Long Covid and active symptomatic Covid are two different things.

Wow. If you can skip all that for TWO WEEKS then you can certainly shuffle things around so you get your 40 hours in. Stop making excuses.

You're really hung up on the idea that anyone who can travel can't possibly be disabled, and I can't fathom how you're sticking to that astounding level of ignorance over and over?

You don’t make any accommodations in your life for TWO WEEKS so you can go on vacation? Surely if you can arrange for two weeks of them you don’t need them all the time?

Yes, that she hasn't worked since summer of 2020, collecting disability through two avenues, and doesn't think she'll ever be able to go back to work.

The part where is says she is a fed and is collecting disability from her job implies she is employed. The federal government is not firing someone over a disability, if anything they are more likely to get a job.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at, but the only way to collect disability from a federal job is through disability retirement. You have to show that you can no longer perform the tasks necessary to do your job, even with accommodations, and that your condition is expected to last for more than a year. You’re then separated from service and given a monthly payment. You do also have to apply for social security disability, but if you get social security disability, the federal government takes most of those payments as repayment for the disability benefit they are paying you. For the first year, your benefit is 60% of your prior salary (or your high 3, actually), and thereafter it’s 40%.
