Depends on how risky you want to be. High interest savings account is nice. ING Direct has a nice one. Not sure, but I've heard there are others out there too. You can buy mutual funds, dividend stocks, index funds or individual stocks outright from many companies. Chose ones with low fees and no loads. Check into Vanguard, Principal and Fidelity. You should probably consult with a legitimate financial planner and figure out what's best for the long term. You're on disability and will probably be getting more social security or something and your money needs to last you the rest of your life. You also need to consider tax consequences on your choices and what you do with your money. |

How does receiving Disability I started getting Disability
in my 50s, and am now 61. I
receive just Disability (not
SSI), and am wondering what
happens at age 65? Do I start
receiving regular SS, and does
it end earlier than if I
hadnever gotten Disability??
Thanks.

If you are receiving Social Security disability benefits when you reach full retirement age, those benefits will be converted to retirement benefits. |

How to or not to disclose a My situation is that I was
medically discharged from the
US Army in 2005. I have
several disabilities and have
an overall disability rating
from the Veterans
Administration. I have gone to
school to retrain on a
rehabilitation plan. I am
about to graduate and
currently looking for a new
full time job. I had a great
job offer from a company, and
then I told them I have
disabilities and they pulled
the offer back. The field I am
going into is Electronics and
Computers. I have talked to
many career advisors and they
state that I should not tell
the company I have them. I
feel that I should. On my
military discharged it also
states that I was medically
discharged and have a
disability rating as well. I
also run into problems when
people ask me why I got out of
the Army. I state I was
medically discharged. I have
been told to state that my
doctor says that I can work.
Any advice on this will be
helpful to me. I am concerned
about this situation.

I'm not an advocate of lying during an interview, because the information will usually come out later and then you can be fired for lying on your application. Create a resume and, in it, simply list the dates of service, your job title, and your rank at discharge. If you have to submit a copy of your DD214, do so without comment. If a potential employer asks why you were discharged early, simply tell them you had a service-related medical condition and that you are now cleared to work. If pressed, just explain that the military requires a much higher level of fitness than does a civilian job and that the medical condition will not interfere with your ability to do this job. Don't go into details as to what the medical condition is. It's true that you cannot be discriminated against due to a disability if you are otherwise qualified to do the job with reasonable accommodations by the employer. However, it's rarely worth it to legally pursue an employer who doesn't hire you because the employer can also say that a better qualified candidate was hired (or give any number of reasons why you weren't hired). Hopefully, most employers will appreciate your military service and the qualities you can bring to the job. When I was a lab manager, I proactively hired ex-military because they didn't whine, they could work well under pressure, were efficient, tended to be quite proficient in their jobs, worked well with others, and didn't think it was an imposition to have to work extra shifts as needed. I also once hired a lab tech whose legs were partially paralyzed from an accident. She kept crutches in the lab and used them to move around, although she could stand or sit in one place without them. She was an excellent employee and kept pace with the other, more physically able employees. Good luck to you. |
