SSD pays a little ofver $700/month.
That’s $8400/year.
How does he rate $38,000.00?

Why SSD on top of the 100,000 in workman’s comp? Why?

on top of the 100,000 in workmans comp? Why Workman's Comp at all? Did doctors certify that JJ Jr.'s bipolar and depression were caused in the workplace?

SSD is actually based on your income before “disability” and can be way over $700.00 monthly. There are deductions from every employment paycheck that goes toward potential disability payments. You are probably thinking of SSDI which is paid where a person had no or very little income before the “disability” and the recipient gets a gift of cash monthly. It’s not much.

This is the latest on SSDI benefits: "Most SSDI recipients receive between $700 and $1,700 per month (the average for 2017 is $1,171)"

“Jackson is considered temporarily totally disabled.”
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?

And the maximum WC payment in Illinois is about $76,000 per year, not $100K. Something doesn’t add up.

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?
To: mumblypeg
...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.

“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”
It appears shakedown is hardwired into Jr.’s genes.
