Social Security Disability (SSD) payments are based on what you have paid in taxes. The government gives you credits when you work. Each year, you can earn up to 4 credits (one for each quarter of the year). You earn credits based upon how much money you earn. For example, in 2010, a worker will earn one credit for every $1,120 they earn and report as wages on their taxes.
In order to file a claim, subcontractors, suppliers and laborers must follow a number of procedures so that their claim is accepted. Before filing a payment bond claim, they must file a preliminary notice of a claim, within a period of time after the completion of their work.
Performance bond is a bond which is kept with the employer or the client with no right to liquidate it unless there was a court order or an accepted rule by an abreviator. It is used as an insurance to the employer that the contractor will comply with the contract conditions and will perform all the works related untill the end of the project span.
