Worksmens comp

Ooida. 144 monthly, don't have to have it

 

That can’t be real workers comp......


And I don’t have it.

 

Don't have it. Read once that self employed folks rarely receive workers comp, or even apply for it. Rates are to high. To many always getting "hurt". Wanting a paid vacation.

 

It’s like 30% of a minimum salary ....... I forget how much it was.....

 

Wow. Knew a driver that tried to get workers comp just about everywhere he worked. People like him make the costs for premiums costly. There are a lot of folks like him..just my opinion.

 

I carried ooida comp and when I fell and broke 3 ribs they proved how valuable it can be. All med bills paid plus a weekly check. All that for a very small price. I heart ooida.

 

Back in 1978, I collected a workman's compensation check for a slight injury. I was working at a union shop supermarket at the time. I was 21 at the time.

Well anyhow, my supervisor, also in the union, REAMED my butt every which way from here to eternity.

From that day on, 41+ plus years ago, I NEVER again filed a workman's compensation claim, or any disability claim whatsoever. I TRULY and GENUINELY learned my lesson from an "old school" supervisor.

On a side note, I also NEVER again went to work for a union shop employer. I left the supermarket back in 1978, over 41+ years ago.

I am currently 62, will be 63 this year, (2019 - born 1956). Providing that both my health and current job both hold up, I will be retiring in another 4+ years, (December 2022 to December 2023), receiving full Social security retirement benefits, along with retirement income from my I.R.A., 401(K) plan, and an insurance annuity.

Truthfully speaking, I am really looking forward to retirement. I am working steadily and dutifully as I have always done, to avoid getting a "short timer's" attitude.

I am working very hard to avoid situations that can cause me to have seriously reduced hours with no benefits, or to be outright terminated. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I am just NOT yet there.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
