Benefits Huddle

He Signed the Denial Letter. Now He Helps Former N.F.L. Players Get Their Benefits nyti.ms/2Mr6gkw

The NFL’s disability and retirement plans pledged to refrain from making race-based adjustments in the cognitive tests used to assess former players’ levels of disability, according to court filings announcing a class-wide settlement. news.bloomberglaw.com/employee-benef…

Former NFL Players who receive Neurocognitive Disability benefits should see an extra $500 in their checks starting April 1. Increased amounts: Mild = $4,500/month Moderate = $6,500/month

Former NFL Players should be aware that the 2020 CBA provides for a reduction in T&P benefits for applications received on or after 4/1/26. Hopefully it doesn't happen, but any Former Players who want to apply for T&P should strongly consider applying before 4/1/26.

Family and friends, there is a lie being spread on social media regarding my health. God is Good and so am I! Look forward to seeing the sports 🏈 fans in the SF Bay Area for Super Bowl Week!

Maybe the new Chief Kindness Officer should look into how disabled Former Players are mistreated.

@pick_six22 @Cuffy__ 10 year CBAs make it hard for them to fight when they need to

@Cuffy__ Because we have a union that are paid to fight for us

i feel for those guys and hope for better for em… but respectfully, why is that their problem??

@BossWard43 @pick_six22 I know what you mean. Feel free to reach out to me and I can try to point you in the right direction.

@pick_six22 lol man they won’t even give us our disabilities. “10 concussions? Prove to our doctors you have head issues!” A joke!

NFL players are homeless these days… NFL has to do better man… Too much money coming in to let ex players suffer 🙏🙏🙏

@IrishFireSox @KarlMecklenburg #87 Rich Jackson and #20 Louis Wright

@KarlMecklenburg I’m struggling naming a few on here….the 2 holding up Elway, is it another Elway and I don’t believe the #87 is supposed to be another Eddy Mac? Also the #20 (Dawkins?). The rest I have, and I knew the names of the 3 amigos without the names on the hats 👍🏻 Very cool graphic

A “Where’s Waldo” of the Broncos by Drew Litton. Thanks Drew, and Broncos World Order for sharing!

Only worth 2 points when he applies for line-of-duty disability benefits after he stops playing in the NFL. He’ll need to find 7 more points or his application will be denied.

@KevG163 When the players used to walk out of the high school locker room and give high-fives to fans on the way to the field.

How an #NFL game looked 51 years ago today — July 27, 1974 The Hall of Fame Game between the Cardinals and Bills at Canton's Fawcett Stadium No concerts. No light shows. No hoopla. Just a picnic lunch on a hill beside a high school field. Things have come a LONG way.

@Profhofcantonf @ProFootballHOF @NovartisUS My first enshrinement was 1985. Used to go every year with my grandmother and sit on the sloped side of the underpass for the inductions. Then walk up and buy a ticket for the game.

@ProFootballHOF @NovartisUS Includes clips from first PFHOF enshrinement I attended - Cowboys Tony Dorsett (and Randy White) in 1994, start of my interest in Hall and election process

🎧 Back to the '90s, Legends!
 Flannel shirts, fresh beats, and football greatness. Football’s Greatest Weekend, presented by @NovartisUS, in the '90s was all that and a bag of chips! Be part of the celebration this year and relive the magic! Which Hall of Famer screams '90s football to you? 👇

@thegob70 @PlayersTribune Congratulations on a HOF career! Make sure that you apply for line-of-duty disability benefits once everything settles down for you.

Today, I am announcing my retirement from the NFL. Thanks for the memories. @PlayersTribune theplayerstribune.com/zack-martin-nf…

@MongoFeliciano @TripleH Make sure you apply for the line-of-duty disability benefit too

Hey @TripleH I just retired from my old job… y’all hiring 😏

@Bob_Lazzari @ctmascaro @RFoggie @RichmondWebb @BaxFootballGuru @GridironGuru2 @AsylumFootball @BoogaPeters @FootballLearn1 @LamarCoachT too🎉🥳

The family of #NFL TE Frank Wycheck has revealed he had stage 3 #CTE when he died at age 52. Frank was courageous, one of the first to pledge his brain to @ConcussionLF & be vocal about his struggles. His diagnosis has helped his daughters understand him: wkrn.com/sports/tenness…
