Jackson, 51, who got out of federal prison in 2015 after pleading guilty to looting his campaign fund, receives about $100,000 a year in tax-free workers' compensation benefits because he has bipolar disorder and depression, the Tribune reported.
Jackson also receives about $38,400 a year in Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, which fall under the purview of the Social Security Administration.

Now there’s a lucrative government euphemism, if ever there was one.
I think I’m suffering from mental whiplash, accompanied by chronic debilitating pain in my back pocket.
Can I get temporary total disability, too?
He hasn’t put in even an hour of honest work in his useless life.
And the maximum WC payment in Illinois is about $76,000 per year, not $100K. Something doesn’t add up.
This cannot be true.
Thats SSI, SSDI is what he receives and they pay that based off of your contributions.
How can Jackson get SS disability? Do Federal employees pay Social Security deductions?
...“Jackson is considered temporarily totally disabled....
That describes the mental condition of most, if not all liberals after the Presidents victory. Just not so sure if it is actually a reexisting condition or if it’s just temporary.
