Due to this cola raise my SSD just broke a thousand bucks a month.

Makes me happy, but I've always been a cheap date, lol.

Yea, this will accualy be a good raise. I took it a step further and reduced my insurance premium by 70 bucks a month due to OPM open season, man was that a chore trying to figure out what would be best with medicare.

I think when this all shakes down I will gain an extra 350 per month, which I will apply directly to my mortgage.

Carlie,

Because your SSDI amount is low, may I ask if the reason is that you did not have enough credits when you were approved?

[carlie]

iraqx2,

In order to get SSD you have to have enough work credits.

Those without enough work credits get SSI.

What is your SSD amount per month ?

Which OPM plan did you choose? I have BC/BS. I have the family plan so it has to co-ordinate with ChampVA and Medicare. I was a postal worker. Since I have SSD my Disability retirement was reduced by 60%, so most of my pensin goes to my medical insurance.
