They are currently paying 6.89% right now.
All federal taxes are deferred until you cash them in.
For the rest of the real United States you don't have to pay state tax on interest but if I remember correctly Alaska does not have a state income tax

Yup no state income tax we have billions stashed yet Dems in our state legislature still want one. And fight every year to not pay out our Permanent Fund Dividend because they rather spend it on more government

WC should not affect pension contributions.But can’t make up pension contributions!

It does if you don’t get your hours in unfortunately.

Then the WC laws suck in your states. In Wisconsin pension and health insurance contributions are paid as if working for up to 52 weeks.

It has nothing to do with WC laws and all to do with the supplements in our contract. 156 reports for full pension benefits and 1800 hours for vacation per year.

My center manager told me that I probably had a sprained ankle. It was a Friday so he told me to go home and we could take care of the reports on Monday if I still was hurting. I told him that I wanted to go to a real doctor so off to the company doctor I went.
The doctor told me that I might have a bad sprain but wanted to take a few X-rays. He came back in the exam room and told me that I had a serious fracture and he sent me to the ER where an orthopedic surgeon was on duty. I had surgery the next day. I often wonder what would of happened if I took my center manager's advice. NO I DON"T! I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE BIG ONE IN MY ARSE!

Slippery Mutual isn't dragging their feet. It's part of their plan. I could write a book about what they put me through and how my lawyers made theirs look like a monkey.

Question. So you got a % impairment rating, a settlement and was allowed to return to work full duty? Asking because I’m out on WC right now with a herniated disc and just had surgery.
Johney

Yes that's how it works.

Correct, but mine was not back surgery. It was a broken limb. Once it was healed I had no restrictions and can do the job without any problems. I’m sure every case is different but if you are medically cleared to return then I don’t see why you would have a problem returning.

I broke my thumb pretty badly at work many years ago. Broke it in like 7 or 8 places. It looks a little different, and won't quite bend as far as my good one. The doctor who did the surgery gave me a 1% disability. I protested it and went to another, independent surgeon agreed upon by the union and the company. He ruled it a 3% disability. Back then, each percentage point was worth about 1k in settlement. I think I was off about 9 weeks. I got the settlement, comp and a PIP (personal injury protection) check that basically covered all my wages lost when I was off. PIP was included in my car insurance policy.

Appreciate the response. So you had no restrictions but did you get a partial impairment rating after MMI & FCE, from your broken limb?
