[QUOTE="soberups, post: 736348, member: 14668"] I'm not a lawyer, but if we assume that the "garbage truck" that hit me was at fault then they cant use whatever pension or ssi my wife gets as a "defense". They would be legally obligated to make my wife whole for the financial loss suffered as a result of my death. If I died today, the pension plan I am enrolled in would pay her just under $2K per month for the rest of her life, based upon my years of service and PEER 80 status. Thats $24K per year, and she would have to provide her own medical insurance. $24K per year with no medical equates to less than 1/3 of the total compensation that I contribute to our household on an annual basis. Our kids are both over 18 so there would be no SSI at all. I carry enough life insurance to cover the rest, but that would have no effect on the liability owed by whoever negligently caused my death.
