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.

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).
Note: If a widow or widower who is caring for your children receives Social Security benefits, he or she is still eligible if their disability starts before those payments end or within seven years after they end. Widows, widowers, and surviving divorced spouses cannot apply online for survivors benefits.If they want to apply for disability benefits on your record, they should contact Social Security at. to request an appointment. Your widow or widower who has not remarried can receive survivors benefits at any age if she or he takes care of your child who is under age 16 or is disabled and receives benefits on your record.
