Hi ALS forums. Hopefully I am posting this thread in a right forum..
In December 2013 my mom started receiving $1085 - a which is 50% of her income she was receiving before disability. In October 2013, she also started receiving her retirement Social Security benefit of $586. Her total income was $1671. This week of July 2014, she received notice from the union, saying that her Long Term Disability will now be reduced by the $586 that she receives from Social Security. Furthermore, since my mom started receiving her pension from Social Security since October 2013, she must return a sum of $3974 that accumulated since than. My mom had a surgery and has one more surgery coming in August. There is no way she could support herself with such a small income( $498 ), no she can pay $3974 out of her packet. What can you suggest? Does the union have a right to deduct her retirement benefits from the Long Term Disability that she receives? As we see it, Long Term Disability and Social Security retirement benefits are two different things. How can their claim her retirement benefits income and use it to their advantage?
Thank you for your help and time.
