That sounds fairly similar.
It's hard to say since everything I know is filtered through
him but I do believe he is in the process of being dropped
from the state-sponsored disability program and put into the
social security sponsored disability program. So maybe the
state determined that he crossed whatever line or threshhold
needed to receive disability from Social Security and they
automatically reduced his check as if he was already
receiving Social Security benefts?
Thanks for the input. I can frame the question this way and
see if he can get any clarification from the powers that be.
