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. |
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!! |
Long Covid and active symptomatic Covid are two different things. |
What's her current position? |
Well then if she can travel to Italy she can certainly travel to the office. |
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? |
Take videos and pictures, send it to the ig and the news |
Why not? Did I miss that she's currently employed and has a current position? |
Did you read the OP? |
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%. |
