What do you actually know about the Social Security Program and what kind of benefits you may possibly receive from Social Security? If you are like me, not all that much. You may know that you pay taxes to Social Security and may think it's unlikely you'll get much payout or all those taxes that you have paid over your entire working life. I spent some time learning a lot more about social security and this episode is the fruits of that labor. Chances are, social security will provide some benefits during retirement, though it certainly will be far from enough to live on. Please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.  If you want to start your path to financial freedom, start with the Financial Freedom Workbook.

Colin Nabity, the CEO of Breeze Insurance joins Rich today for another episode of Paychecks & Balances. Breeze is an Insuretech company that makes it easy for American workers to protect their income through disability insurance. Disability Insurance is income protection insurance, which insures the beneficiary’s earned income against the risk that a disability creates an issue for a worker to complete their job. Founded in 2019, in Omaha Nebraska, “The Insurance Hub of the US”, Breeze set out on a mission to modernize the archaic disability insurance system. Their online application process takes 15 minutes to complete with plans that start as low as $9 a month. Their automated underwriting technology allows them to offer qualified individuals a way to get quick and affordable disability insurance without the hassle of dealing with salespeople.   Most folks misunderstand disability insurance, and in today’s episode Colin walks us through what it is, how it’s different from Workmen’s Comp, and why the current disability insurance system in the US is plagued by long wait times, high fees and is made unavailable by some employers or the government.   Show Highlights Why Colin chose Omaha Nebraska as the hub for Breeze, instead of Silicon Valley Only a third of folks that apply for disability insurance through the Social Security Program get approved Workmen’s Compensations vs. Disability Insurance: Getting hurt on the job vs. protecting yourself from an issue or accident that may happen, outside of your job The difference between having your own disability insurance plan and getting one through your employer How disability insurance is taxed Short term disability insurance vs. long term Benefit Amount - How much you will get paid each month Benefit Period – The length of time your benefits will last Waiting Period – The length of time that passes until you receive your first payment Most policies will allow you to customize your timelines and payment amounts How the freelance/gig economy is changing the way people obtain and receive insurance benefits   Key Takeaway: Disability insurance may not be something you’re thinking about right now. But for what is most often an inexpensive monthly fee, you can protect yourself financially, if you end up with an aliment or in an accident that prevents you from doing your job.   Paychecks & Balances Website: https://paychecksandbalances.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/paybalances Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paybalances Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paychecksandbalances Twitter: https://twitter.com/paybalances?lang=en   Breeze Insurance Website: https://lisahylton.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/breezeinsurance LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/breeze-insurance/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breezeinsurance/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/meetbreeze/    

Many Americans believe Social Security will exist when they retire but many say that they are wrong❗️ Many say Social Security does face serious challenges in the payout may decline but they insist that the program itself is not going anywhere‼️ Truth is, if Congress does nothing to fix the program Social Security will rely on the tax money that the government extorts from the people to make the program work.

Ronald Regan once said, "The nine most terrifying words in the English Language are - I'm from the Government and I'm here to help". The Gipper obviously was well aware of the Social Security Program and as humanitarian as FDR's thoughts were in '35 when he kicked this off, it's about to get a lot worse and you need to know how it will affect you. I'm going to give you the quick historical run-down on the topic, and overview of the legislation that has passed the House, and what the big holes are in the thought process that you probably want to pick up the phone and call your Senator on before this goes to vote.
