[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP, she'd be eligible for SSDI, plus she must have some retirement savings and she is already 50 (and can withdraw at 55 from her employer account if she leaves at 55). $400 a month is almost $5000 a year, not to mention the interest ,for something she probably won't need. [/quote] Well, as someone whose husband gets SSDI I can tell you that it isn't very much money. The MAXIMUM benefit is $3600 a month. And it is also hard to qualify for. If you are so disabled you cannot work, your expenses go UP not DOWN unfortunately. But yes, $400 a month is very high for disability insurance. If OP is a fed, there's actually FERS Disability retirement which is easier to get than SSDI.[/quote]
