Do you know what the amount for state disability cash assistance is?

Question

I'm just being an eager beaver here and I forgot to ask my case worker what the amount of cash assistance is. I live in Michigan, so I know it will be different than other states, but can't be too far off.
I applied and know the requirements to be accepted for cash assistance here. I qualify because I will be out of work for more than 90 days (over a year) and have the documentation from 2 different docs. I heard the amount is over $200, but I don't know, only over heard that somewhere. Does anybody know? I am not asking how to qualify because I know that, but just the amounts people get paid.

To spock: Thanks, but that had NOTHING to do with answering my question. Although I will add that statistics show that about 90 of blue coller worker that go on disabilty never return to work, however, 95 % of farm workers that go on disability do return. It has reason. Although, as I tell my doc, I have suffered long enough and my failed attempts of working with a disabilty prove I WAS that farmworker, I tried for many years, and I admit defeat.

Answer 1

the general answer is "not enough", even in as liberal a state as Michigan.

It has to be 'not enough' so that the disabled worker has incentive to figure out how to become employed again in some other capacity and not spend the remainder of his life on disability.

Ideally, the disabled worker re-invents himself in another line of work and replaces his own income. At that point, theory says 'disability' payments should end.

Practically speaking, the vast majority of disabled workers either aren't that smart or aren't motivated enough and continue on disability for many years. This is why increasing proportions of employers use various psychological screening methods to exclude potential workers from employment who exhibit the characteristics of those past workers who are now on disability. {The leading cause of on the job injury isn't 'accident' ... it is a worker failing to follow safe working procedures, even after he has been trained in them!}
