Life is difficult. “Living” always has roadblocks, obstacles, challenges and concerns. We try and teach our kids enough optimism to meet those challenges, with a peppering of cynicism to recognize that very little comes easily; nothing — or almost nothing — is free; and that we are not invincible beings, but vulnerable, and ultimately mortal.
The frailty of our society was always there — it is just that this pandemic brought it out into the open. It is like our bodies and minds — it was always susceptible to illness, disease and breakdowns; and when it happens, we are too often surprised and come to realize that this difficult life presents too few options.
One option, at least for Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers, is to file for OPM Disability Retirement benefits through the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. It is a benefit open to all Federal and Postal employees with a minimum of 18 months of creditable Federal Service.
Contact an OPM Disability Lawyer who Specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law, and consider that even in this difficult life, there are options to consider in order to secure a future yet uncertain.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
