The populous within these Congressional Districts are used to a do nothing government where people live by their wits and never really know what it coming tomorrow.
The only reality in life they can count on is being patronized for votes and a life of hard knocks. The people don't receive services. They are on their own and rely on the compassion of others to recover from any adversity. They don't have state sponsored disability to pick up support during times of injury or illness regardless the cause. If the employers don't supply a disability benefit, then they are out of luck. So, besides losing their homes to a tornado, if they sustained injuries they won't have an income either.
I am quite confident when Superstorm Sandy hit New Jersey and New York, those afflicted by injury or illness received a state sponsored financial support to continue a cash amount into the family at least once per week.
The exception in Oklahoma is if your employer is the state. The qualifying event has to disable a person for at least 30 days before a dime is paid to them.
Disability benefits (click here) begin no earlier than the date you first receive treatment or advice from a qualified physician. This date must be followed by a continuous absence from work, due to your disability, for 30 consecutive calendar days (the elimination period).
