Here's my situation:
I am currently on Worker's Compensation - since August, 2014. It will be a year this next August and I'm not sure I will be released back to work by then. I want to look into retiring possibly at that time. In August 2015 I will lose my health insurance, so my question is: Can I retire while I'm still on worker's comp (and still being treated) in order to save my health insurance for my family. I have already contacted HR. HR says they can't give me my full status of my retirement benefits until I quit or retire ---- The retirement calculator does not give me credit for the last 8 months since I've been on WC and therefore, the benefit is inaccurate and planning is difficult and stressful. My biggest concern is healthcare for my family. Is there anyone out there in BrownCafe who is or may be in the same situation or can help please?
Thanks!
