NDIS Amendment #Bill 2024 – where the government claims to help PWD while stealthily cutting costs. Let's dig into this mess & see how it stacks up. Breakdown of Labor Costs Inclusion of Personal Support: Labor Costs: Wages for support workers, therapists & planners. Essential but expensive. Bureaucrats love cutting these costs. The Critical Role of Assistive Technology Cost-Efficiency of AT: Enhanced Independence: AT like wheelchairs & communication devices make participants less reliant on expensive human support. Long-Term Savings: Spend on AT now, save on labor costs later. It’s almost too logical for government planners. Impacts of Underfunding AT: Increased Reliance on Personal Support: No AT means more human helpers, driving up costs. Reduced Independence: Without AT, participants are less independent and more costly. Higher Long-Term Costs: Skimp on AT today, pay through the nose tomorrow. Implications for Budget Allocation Balance between Labor and AT: Strategic Investment: Fund AT to reduce future labor costs. It’s called planning ahead. Sufficient Funds for AT: Essential for sustainable spending & better participant outcomes. How does blowing 80% of the budget on labor reflect a sustainable strategy? Got a plan to invest in AT? Are participants being asked what they need more: AT or personal support? Spoiler: probably not. How are we measuring the cost-effectiveness of labor versus AT spending? Are we #reallocating funds based on this? Are we sacrificing long-term efficiency for short-term savings by prioritizing labor over AT? By underfunding AT, are we not just raising costs but also limiting participants' independence? With 80% of the #budget going to labor, how are we ensuring that critical areas like AT aren’t neglected? Paternalistic Dependency: Is the NDIS fostering independence or reinforcing dependency by prioritizing labor over AT? Data Gathering and Monitoring: Is the #NDIS compromising participants' privacy and dignity through excessive data collection? Provider-Favored Approaches: By favoring providers and high labor costs, is the NDIS neglecting the long-term benefits of AT? #Autonomy & Control: Are participants really in control when the NDIS imposes strict spending rules? Flexibility & Agency: Are rigid #funding rules stifling participants' ability to adapt their plans to their needs? Privacy: How can the NDIS justify #invasive data practices in the name of fraud prevention? NDIS Amendment Bill 2024: a bureaucratic masterpiece prioritizing labor costs & ignoring the long-term benefits of AT. The result? More dependency, higher costs, & less #independence for participants. It’s time for a strategic shift towards investing in AT & participant-centric policies. Dr George Taleporos (GAICD, PhD) Marie J.

SOCIAL SECURITY “TIP OF THE DAY” Social Security "Tip of the Day" brought to you by RSSA ELITE & Tandem Head Financial Network "Things to Know When Your Child with Disabilities Turns 18" • When your child turns 18 years old, they legally become an adult. This is an important time to consider their financial future – especially if they need ongoing care. • When your child becomes a legal adult, you can no longer make certain decisions for them about their health and welfare. However, you can stay involved through: A Representative Payee: Social Security will determine who best serves as Representative Payee for your child’s benefits. Guardianship: This requires court involvement. It may be necessary if your child can’t execute a power of attorney. Please consult an attorney for assistance. • Changes in Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Eligibility SSI provides monthly payments to adults and children with a disability or blindness who have income and Resources below specific financial limits. When your child turns 18, Social Security will review their eligibility for continued SSI payments based on the disability rules for adults. Children receiving benefits on a parent’s record may continue to receive those benefits until age 19 if they’re a full-time elementary or secondary school student. People who have a qualifying disability that began before age 22 may also be eligible to receive child’s benefits at any age. https://lnkd.in/dch6m_uU email jnusslein@tandemhead.com #tandemheadfinancialnetwork #rssaelite

WASHINGTON (AP) — The go-broke dates for Medicare and Social Security have been pushed back as an improving economy has contributed to changed projected depletion dates, according to the annual Social Security and Medicare trustees report Monday. Still, officials warn that policy changes are needed lest the programs become unable to pay full benefits to retiring Americans. Medicare’s go-broke date for its hospital insurance trust fund was pushed back five years to 2036 in the latest report, thanks in part to higher payroll tax income and lower-than-projected expenses from last year. Medicare is the federal government’s health insurance program that covers people age 65 and older and those with severe disabilities or illnesses. It covered more than 66 million people last year, with most being 65 and older. Once the fund’s reserves become depleted, Medicare would be able to cover only 89% of costs for patients’ hospital visits, hospice care and nursing home stays or home health care that follow hospital visits. https://lnkd.in/dbXuqmMb

Working parents in the UK could last an average of just over two months without pay if they had to take time off work, or out of their business, for a sick child, according to new research from protection and employee benefits provider, MetLife UK. #Insurance #InsuranceMarket

Eligibility for Social Security: To qualify for Social Security benefits, you must be 62 or older, blind or living with a disability. You may be able to start collecting benefits at age 60 if you’re a widow or widower. You must also have enough work credits, which you earn each year by working and earning income. You need a minimum of six work credits, and you can earn up to four work credits per year. In order to receive most benefits, the program requires an average of one work credit per calendar year from age 21 to the year when you turn 62 or qualify as disabled or blind, with a maximum of 40 credits. You must also be a U.S. citizen or legally residing in the U.S. The rules for qualifying for Social Security due to a disability depend on how old you are when you become disabled. The younger you are, the fewer work credits you’ll need to be eligible for Social Security. https://lnkd.in/gvBYT9db

So, whats all the talk about getting #NDIS back to its original intent. National #Disability Insurance Scheme, yes? Bold move to call it "national" when it’s more fragmented than a politician’s promises. Here we’ve got a federated structure parading around as #centralized yet the funding and control are as disjointed as a bad group project. Funds bounce around like a hot potato across departments, creating #inefficiencies &, dare we say, perfect places to hide if you don’t fancy the “A” in #accountability. But hey, who’s surprised? They slap the word “national” on it, hoping we’ll all buy the illusion of uniformity. Then there's the twist from “insurance” to a welfare-esque system. See, real #insurance works on risk pooling, where everyone chips in, creating a sustainable pot for rainy days. But with the NDIS? Forget consistancy, with the #budget shifting more often than a teenager’s curfew. Meaning? It’s only as reliable as the next election, a bit like relying on a politician's handshake deal. Annual funding changes, no long-term guarantees, and constant reassessments—how comforting! Stability? What a concept. And let’s talk “empowerment” under NDIS’s definition. Originally, it sounded like people with disabilities would finally have real choice. Now? Cue invasive surveillance, endless eligibility checks, and rigid standardization. If you wanted dignity, well, the joke’s on you—NDIS prefers you #obedient and standardized. Participants find themselves explaining every life choice, monitored like it’s a crime scene investigation. So, here's the real question: at what point did we decide that #pretending something’s “national” or “empowering” actually makes it so? Or is this just the latest way bureaucracy gives us all the middle finger while calling it support? Peter Gregory Marie J.
