Clueless About Disability

Baby boomers are in the dark about public disability income programs such as Social Security disability insurance and worker's compensation, according to a recent survey by America's Health Insurance Plans of Washington.

Nearly half of the 827 respondents said they believed incorrectly that a working adult would qualify for SSDI benefits if he or she were unable to work at their current job but could still work at another job that paid less.

More than a third said they thought that a worker would qualify for SSDI benefits if he or she could work no more than 20 hours a week, and one in four said they didn't know what the qualifications were.

In reality, workers are eligible for SSDI benefits only if they are unable to do any work for which they would earn $1,000 or more a month.

Just one in five correctly estimated the average monthly SSDI benefit for a disabled worker to be about $1,000 a month. Eighteen percent overestimated the benefit, and 43% said they didn't know.

The survey also assessed the boomers' knowledge of the length of time it takes to receive SSDI benefits.

Thirty-four percent estimated the length of time to be shorter than it generally was, and 35% said they didn't know. The average length of time it takes for a person who files a SSDI claim to be accepted or denied is more than 17 months.

"Baby boomers know very little about the public disability safety net available for workers who suffer a disability," Humphrey Taylor, chairman of the Harris Poll, said in a statement.

Thirty-six percent didn't know how much of their income workers' compensation benefits would replace, and one in five overestimated benefits. Just 24% knew that workers' compensation replaces two-thirds of a worker's pre-disability income.

Allsup Adds Financial Planning and Healthcare Information Services to Expand Solutions for Individuals with Disabilities

BELLEVILLE, Ill. - (Business Wire) More than 8.9 million individuals with disabilities and their families rely on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) as a key source of income. That’s nearly 700,000 more than the population of New York City.

For these people, disability is a life-altering event that often has a significant impact on their financial situations. In response, Allsup is introducing a series of new financial and healthcare-related services for people with disabilities to complement the nationwide SSDI representation services it has been offering for nearly 25 years.

“Without ongoing, experienced support from the outset, the financial well-being of individuals with disabilities too often falls through the cracks,” said Paul Gada, Allsup’s personal financial planning director. “We designed our new services to deliver true help from the start. Allsup wants to help people not only efficiently navigate the SSDI process, but also establish sound financial plans and manage their healthcare costs and options.”

The first service to launch is Financial Matters, a free online information portal specifically designed to help individuals with disabilities better manage their personal finances. Allsup will introduce other services over the next several months, including customized Medicare analysis solutions to help individuals evaluate and choose the best Medicare options for their specific situation, and custom financial planning services.

Free Financial Matters Portal: Informative, Useful Planning Resources for Today and the Future

The new Financial Matters portal provides specific, easy-to-understand information on:

• Financial planning, including budgeting, cash flow and expense management considerations for individuals with disabilities.
• Managing healthcare costs, including detailed discussions of COBRA, Medicare, drug assistance programs and other sources for helping to reduce healthcare costs.
• Managing taxes, including information on the tax treatment of SSDI payments, tax credits for low-income individuals and tax-filing assistance resources.

Among the real-world issues addressed by Financial Matters are the dangers in using home equity loans, second mortgages and reverse mortgages as sources of income. This is particularly important for people with disabilities to understand because a significant number of all mortgage foreclosures are the result of injury, illness or high medical bills.

“In most states, a person’s home is protected if he is forced into bankruptcy, but if he took out a mortgage, that amount can be lost in the bankruptcy proceedings,” Gada explained, adding that the portal details other income alternatives individuals may want to evaluate.

Financial Matters also helps people navigate the complex world of Medicare options. An overall comparison of the various programs is available and a detailed discussion is provided about Medicare Advantage plans. These often are the more suitable option for those with disabilities because they tend to offer more coverage at a lower out-of-pocket cost.

Financial planning calculators, resource links, checklists and highlighted tip boxes all help present the information in a more user-friendly way. The site also includes a comprehensive section on the SSDI process. Allsup will regularly add more sections and content to the site to better support the financial planning needs of consumers with disabilities.

“Addressing the physical and emotional issues related to a disability are significant hurdles,” Gada continued. “Compounding this, most individuals find themselves in a bureaucratic world where they don’t speak the language and there are no clear guide posts. Often, they are passed from one organization to the next without getting answers. We are focused on stepping in and using our experience to help people with disabilities understand important financial and healthcare issues. We want to help them take control and reclaim their lives.”

Baby Boomers Still Misunderstand Disability Income

Original Link: Baby Boomers Still Misunderstand Disability Income (from: ohsonline.com)

Posted: May 7, 2008

According to a new survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of America's Health Insurance Plans, most baby boomers overestimate the breadth and depth of the public safety net available for workers who suffer a disability, believing public programs provide disability benefits to more people than they actually do and overestimating the amount of benefits available.

The survey assessed boomers' knowledge about public disability income programs, such as Social Security Disability Insurance and Worker's Compensation. Nearly half of boomers surveyed believe incorrectly that a working adult would qualify for SSDI benefits if he or she were unable to work at their current job, but could still work at another job that pays less money. More than a third of baby boomers believe a worker is qualified if he or she can work no more than twenty hours a week, and one in four say they do not know what the qualifications are. In reality, workers are eligible for SSDI benefits only if they are unable to do any work for which they would earn $1,000 or more per month.

"Baby boomers believe they have more disability income protection than they actually do, giving them a false sense of security against the financial risks of disability," AHIP President and CEO Karen Ignagni. Humphrey Taylor, chairman of the Harris Poll, seconded that thought, saying, "Baby boomers know very little about the public disability safety net available for workers who suffer a disability."

Only one in five boomers correctly estimated the average monthly SSDI benefit for a disabled worker to be about $1,000 a month. Eighteen percent overestimated the benefit and a significant number of those surveyed (43 percent) said they did not know how much the average monthly SSDI benefit was. While a majority of boomers (60 percent) accurately stated that job-related illnesses and injuries are qualifications for worker's compensation, many incorrectly believe this coverage is also available to individuals who suffer a disability in other situations. Many of those surveyed said they believe people can qualify for worker's comp benefits if they suffer a disability that prevents them from working at their previous job (26 percent), forces them to work at a job that pays less than their current job (10 percent), or if they can only work part-time (9 percent).

Thirty-six percent of boomers did not know how much of their current income worker's comp benefits would replace, and one in five overestimated benefits. Only 24 percent of boomers accurately stated that worker's compensation replaces two-thirds of a worker's pre-disability income.

The survey also assessed baby boomers knowledge of the length of time it takes to receive SSDI benefits. Thirty-four percent estimated that the length of time to receive benefits was shorter than it generally is, and more than a third (35 percent) said they didn't know how long the process takes. The average length of time it takes for a person who files a SSDI claim to be accepted or denied, including any appeals, is approximately 500 days, or more than 17 months. A memo outlining the survey findings is available at www.ahip.org/content/default.aspx?docid=23188, and the survey questionnaire can be found at www.ahip.org/content/default.aspx?docid=23187.

Drug firms might be able to help

Published May 11, 2008

My husband has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. He has been prescribed a very expensive medication. We are not eligible for Medicare because we are resident aliens who haven't lived in the United States for five years yet. Is there any way we can get help to purchase this prescription drug?

It is possible that you can get some assistance from the pharmaceutical company that manufactures the drug. All major drug companies offer a patient assistance program to provide certain medications at low or no cost, making it possible for patients who cannot afford specific medications to get them. Each company has different eligibility and application requirements, and you must apply personally through the drug company that produces the medication.

There are many sources to help you find out how to apply for medication assistance. First you must know what company produces the drug. Then you can go to www.rxassist.org on the Web and research that pharmaceutical company's guidelines to see if your husband's specific drug is offered through a program.

If you need further assistance, call the Senior Health Insurance Program at 410-222-4464.

I have received Social Security Disability (SSDI) payments for several years. Because of my limited income, I am on Medicaid.

Now my doctor has said that even though I still suffer from a chronic condition, I can go back to work, and I have found a job that I can manage. However, my earnings together with my SSDI will make me ineligible for Medicaid, which is my only health insurance coverage.

I haven't been disabled long enough to get Medicare benefits. Is there any insurance I can get that will be affordable for me? I really want to go back to work.

The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has a program called Employed Individuals with Disabilities (EID) that will allow eligible Maryland citizens with disabilities to work and to pay a small fee to receive health care coverage through Medicaid.

EID is a work incentive program that provides for people who are disabled and have been approved for SSDI or SSI, are U.S. citizens or qualified aliens aged 18 to 64, are working for pay and meet the income and asset eligibility guidelines for the program. Individuals who lose their SSDI benefit due to earned income are also eligible.

EID provides full fee-for-service Medicaid coverage and wraparound services for those with other health insurance or Medicare. Eligible individuals buy in to the program with a $75 enrollment fee for six months of coverage, and every six months the coverage can be renewed for $75. For details, call 800-637-4113.

Decline in Social Security Disability Insurance Application Approvals

Council for Disability Awareness Releases its 2007 Claims Review from Leading Insurance Companies and Social Security Administration Data

PORTLAND, Maine, May 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Data from the annual Long-Term Disability Claims Review released today by the Council for Disability Awareness (CDA) reveals the continued growth of serious disabilities among the U.S. working population. Over the last ten years, the number of U.S. workers with long-term disabilities has grown four times the growth of workers in the U.S. workforce. The Review also found that a growing number of female and younger workers are experiencing serious disabilities that are impacting their ability to work. Most disabilities continue to be caused by off-the-job accidents and illnesses.

The 2007 CDA Long-Term Disability Claims Review, the third annual review of long-term disability claim trends among the U.S. working population, includes primary data from the annual CDA member company long-term disability claims survey and analyzes selected worker disability data from the SSDI program.

According to this year's review, more than 560,000 individuals received long-term disability insurance payments from CDA member companies in 2007, resulting in claim payments in excess of $7.7 billion - a 7 percent increase in payments made in 2006.

The review also shows that in last year 7.1 million disabled workers received payments from the Social Security Disability Insurance program totaling $91.3 billion - a 4.3 percent increase over payments made in 2006 and more than double the SSDI payments to disabled workers just 10 years ago.

The number of workers applying for SSDI disability payments increased to 2.2 million in 2007, 2.6% more that in 2006, while the number of disabled workers approved for payments declined to 37.6 percent, the lowest approval rate in the history of the program. Despite the increase in monthly SSDI payments, now averaging $1004 per worker, payments are less reliable and have not kept pace with the growing financial needs of disabled workers, putting the financial security of workers and their dependents at greater risk.

"The CDA Claim Review shows that it is critical and urgent for American workers and their families to become aware of the growing instances of disability and to prepare for the financial consequences," explained Robert Taylor, president of CDA. "Our data also shows that accountability for personal financial security continues to shift away from trusted sources like social programs and employers to the individual."

Working women and younger employees are more vulnerable to serious accidents and illnesses that can impact their ability to earn a living. The growth in the rate of serious disability for working women is twice the growth rate of working men and younger workers, in their 20s, 30s and 40s are experiencing serious disabilities.

According to the review, the leading cause of long-term disability insurance claims continues to be musculoskeletal/connective tissue disorders - accounting for almost one-quarter of all new and existing claims. Cancer and cardiovascular/circulatory problems remained the second and third most common causes of new disability claims. Accidents and injuries remain the fastest growing causes of new as well as existing claims.

"It's important that Americans recognize the growing threat that disability can pose to their financial security," explains Taylor. "With this annual survey, CDA continues to expand the public dialogue that will raise the necessary awareness level on this critical issue."

About the 2007 CDA Long-Term Disability Claims Review

CDA conducts an annual review of long-term disability claims among the U.S. working population to determine continuing or emerging trends. The 2007 Long-Term Disability Claims Review includes 2007 long-term disability insurance claims data supplied by CDA member companies and an analysis of the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program 2007 Annual Statistical Supplement.

About the Council for Disability Awareness

The Council for Disability Awareness (CDA) is a non-profit group dedicated to helping the American workforce become aware of the growing likelihood of disability and its financial consequences. The CDA engages in communications, research and educational activities that provide information and helpful resources to wage earners, their families, the media, employers and others who are concerned about disability and the impact it can have on wage earners and their families.
