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.
PERFORMANCE BOND CLAIM. The contractor and the surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, and successors and assigns to the owner for the performance of the. construction contract, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The cost for the performance bond is paid for by the general contactor, who usually includes this cost in the company's bid for the project. The cost of the bond depends on a variety of factors, including the total cost of the work and the type of construction being performed. The cost can be anywhere from 1 percent to 5 percent of the estimated cost of construction. If the issuing company determines that bonding the contractor is a risky investment, the upfront costs for bonding will be higher. Requiring a performance bond is an insurance policy for the owner.
