13. An often overlooked benefit of SS. I had a similar situation |
|
My father was a UPS truck driver and went blind from diabetes. Thanks to disablity benefits he was able to get a masters in economics and get back into the work force at the Dept of Commerce. When I was a teen his kidneys failed and he passed away after a long stuggle. Those same benefits along with his govt employee bennies kicked in and my mom did what she needed to do to make it possible for my brother and I to go to college. I recognize my obligation to provide for others as they provided for my family in our hour of need.
