I checked my 2012 SS report: The amount SSD is promising me is in line with the raise I got before MIT laid me off, so there's no reason to visit the SS office. The amount they've promised is the right amount.

So I phoned Prudential (MIT's Longterm Disability Program's agency) to tell them the amount, as they'd requested.

Thanks, the guy said. We'll need that figure, because we'll be reducing the amount we give you by the amount covered by SSD. [he tried to put it in a much more politic manner and got tangled, but that was the gist] Yes, you probably want to know: You've been accepted for the MIT program.

Can you work at all while receiving benefits? I'm not sure... hmm... I don't think so, but you should talk to people at MIT to be sure.

Is there anything else I can help you with today?
