Re: Fw: Alert: Congress to vote on subminimum wage for workers with disabilities

[Guest guest]

Illinois Senator Mark Kirk is on this committee, according to the Federation

for the Blind. Since he is OUR Senator, there may be some sway to

connecting with him.

I think I would support this only if the worker required a job coach on hand.

It would probably be good to increase employment. In IL, the minimum wage is $1

an hour higher. That may put off a lot of employers.

I also believe they during an evaluation period, the employers should be exempt

from paying FUTA/SUTA/Workman's Comp on the wages.

Anything, to increase employment.

Yes, but the closer they get to collecting Social security disability income and

being eligible for Medicare.
