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. If you hire an Air Conditioning Repair service contractor under a flat rate charge, ask for an up front complete parts.
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).
When you retire, you'll get your public pension, but don't count on getting your full Social Security benefit. Under federal law, any Social Security benefits you earned will be reduced if you were a federal, state or local government employee who earned a pension on wages that were not covered by Social Security.Reductions also apply to Social Security spousal or survivor benefits that are claimed by government pensioners.he windfall provision does not apply to government pensioners who paid into the Social Security system for 30 years or longer. Nor does it apply to workers who receive a military pension or a private pension. You can use a WEP calculator at www.socialsecurity.gov to figure your benefit.
