Thanks, Colleen. I have asked about the SSDI and how that impacts my disability insurance. As I understand it it won't be a problem and the SSDI won't even be involved as long as I continue to work a few hours a month. I do not qualify to apply for SSDI if I am working at all, so therefore my employers dis. ins. just continues according to their policy. If after a year I am not working any hours only then they would get the SSDI involved. I can not afford to live on 2/3 of my salary so I would make every effort to continue to word 10-12 hrs a week as long as I am able.
These benefits seem almost too good to be true - rather than just jumping at an opportunity for a good thing - I'm wondering if some bad karma will come back to bite me for being greedy, taking advantage of a situation, getting something for nothing etc. Why can't I just accept it without guilt and be happy and at ease?
