If I am on Workers’ Compensation, does that affect my SSD claim?
Maybe. It is possible to receive Workers’ Compensation and disability benefits at the same time.
Based on past earnings, you have a maximum benefit amount. This is the amount you are
entitled to receive between the two benefits. The theory is that one will not be better off
financially if they are disabled than they were when they were working. If Work Comp benefits
and disability benefits exceed the monthly maximum benefit amount, the Social Security
benefits will be offset. It is important to speak to your attorney about the dynamic between
your Work Comp benefits and disability benefits to ensure your benefits are maximized.
