"Met Life" Now he has been awarded his SSDI retro to November last year and his brother says he will have to PAY BACK all that short term now!!! I say BULL! His company paid premiums to have that benifit for him and Don paid Social Security "premiums" for 35 years so he'd have "SOCIAL SECURITY". He is entitled to both. Why could another insurance "pull out" because of a federal program. There has to be a law. Just as if he purchased life insurance from two differant companies, both would have to pay. Besides he had to pay taxes on those benefits because he didn't have to pay the premium. Could any Union contract LEGALLY reqire repayment. NOT FAIR
