The $250.00-$300.00 labor rate is exhorbitant!!! In Southern California the labor rates normally average $120.00 per hour. In my area it averages $90.00. That rate applies to any portion of an hour. If you hire an Air Conditioning Repair service contractor under a flat rate charge, ask for an up front complete parts.
The below is an explanation of when collecting retirement benefits prevents you from collecting disability benefits as well. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is one of two programs under which you can apply for disability benefits. The other program is Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Short-term disability benefits are not available from Social Security or elsewhere in the federal government. If you are disabled less than a year, you canât collect Social Security disability or SDI. A few states do have programs granting employees paid short-term disability benefits when they temporarily canât work. The states differ on the size of the benefit (itâs a portion of your salary, typically two-thirds) and how long youâll receive benefits (a maximum of six to twelve months).
