There is no need for the SSA to re-invent the wheel if DoD has already figured out a workable solution. <br /><br />Much better than the standard Democratic and Republican lines of throwing more or less money at something, respectively.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799024060528185282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875716674621937836.post-47071115908245612932011-08-23T10:17:43.902-07:002011-08-23T10:17:43.902-07:00They could borrow the military's disability ca...They could borrow the military's disability calculations-- a friend of mine developed scoliosis in the Navy, and she's at 30% disability.

Whereas if you are on "total disability" they know what to pay and can catch you (say) repainting your boat or chopping firewood. <br /><br />The costs of managing such a system in a remotely competent way would probably offset the gains to lower payouts. <br /><br />That said...it does seem like something worth attempting, even if it isn't much a money-saver to the program itself, because it would almost certainly be better for the economy as a whole (and reduce the incentives to working under the table.) It's absurd to have someone 100% economically sidelined when they really only need about a 20% break.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799024060528185282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875716674621937836.post-15880917186002362502011-08-23T09:12:11.745-07:002011-08-23T09:12:11.745-07:00Tragedy of the commons, no?

(Thus ensuring that a higher than would be expected number of the folks who get "help" aren't who it was intended for.)Foxfierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161683096247890834noreply@blogger.com
