What are the advantages of having OPM disability retirement?

Transcript:

OPM disability retirement allows the individual who is approved to go out and work someplace else and make up to 80% of what they were earning at their prior job. They also continue to receive the benefits of insurance paid by the Federal Government, just as it was paid by the employer. So they can go and work and make up to 80% of what they were making, and get the supplemental payment of 60% of their pay the first year and 40% thereafter until age 62, all while getting the same contribution towards the insurances that they had, including health insurance, dental insurance and life insurance.
