Sinopsis

If you’re on (or about to file for) long-term disability and Social Security just approved your SSDI claim… congratulations — and brace yourself.

That big back-pay check is about to arrive… right before your LTD insurer sends a letter asking for $20,000–$50,000 of it back.

This is the SSDI + LTD coordination trap that catches almost everyone by surprise.

SSDI + LTD Coordination is the plain-English, kitchen-table guide that shows you exactly how the two systems are wired together — and how to protect your money before the fine print costs you thousands.

Written by a Physician Assistant with 30 years of clinical experience and a personal connection to chronic illness challenges, this guide cuts through the confusion most other books ignore.

Inside you’ll discover:

• The SSDI back-pay trap — and the four ways to minimize or avoid the massive reimbursement demand

• Real offset math with actual numbers — exactly what you’ll keep each month

• How to survive the 24-month “own-occupation to any-occupation” cliff

• The employer playbook (FMLA, COBRA, termination risk, and how to protect yourself)

• Working while disabled — trial work periods, Ticket to Work, and the earning rules that won’t kill your benefits

• 50+ real questions answered from families who’ve already been through it

Whether you’re still working but struggling, just stopped working, already on LTD, or approved for one system and stuck on the other, this guide gives you the clear next steps you need right now.

No jargon. No fluff. Just honest, practical help you can use at your kitchen table — before the fine print costs you thousands.

Part of the Kitchen Table Guide™ series — trusted, straightforward resources for real families facing hard situations.
