Question:
Am I entitled to social security disability benefits?
Answer:
The interplay between workers’ compensation benefits and Social Security disability is complicated because Social Security disability benefits serve somewhat the same purpose as total disability benefits under the Workers’ Compensation Act. If you receive weekly total disability benefits, the Social Security administration will reduce the amount of your Social Security check. The way to avoid that is to have an attorney help craft a settlement for a lump sum of money, money that’s paid out at once, projected over your life expectancy. We can draft the settlement paperwork that the Social Security administration will honor to reduce the effect of that offset. Even though it can be a complicated process, we work hard for you to reduce that Social Security offset.
