How To Check My Placement?

Should people on disability be offered retraining and job placement in lieu of a disability check?

  • Instead of them not working. they could be trained to perform a job that could even be done in bed, like guiding an underwater robot.

  • Answer:

    Actually there are several programs SSDI offers for vocational training, and work testing, for those on disability, to see if they are able to work in other areas. And you're right, a disability does not necessary mean you cannot work doing other jobs. That is why, in fact, around 75% of claims are denied. The majority approved either have severe disabilities and cannot function in any job. Many are over 55 and are classified as "advanced age" (their words, not mine). Meaning it would be much more difficult to adapt, and be accepted, in another line of work at that age. Not to mention by the time they are retrained, they would be at, or near, regular retirement age anyway.

Of course if retraining is possible, it usually will be arranged. They still need income for living expenses until they are once again gainfully employed.

it could work for some people with disabilities but not all.

the jobs that can be done in bed are very limited and i wouldn't even be able to do that for more than 10 hours a week.... supposedly if you are able to do another job--you are not supposed to get disability--vocational rehab is supposed to help you get training
