Social Security Benefits and Workers’ Compensation at the Same Time?
Yes, it is possible to be eligible for both workers’ compensation and social security disability benefits. In fact, you may also be entitled to other disability benefits for injuries you’ve suffered at work or in an accident. Injured employees may be eligible for compensation through private disability insurance and/or through employer pension or state retirement disability plans.
Each of these benefit plans may have different eligibility requirements and some of them may take offsets (deductions) if you are receiving benefits under another plan at the same time. Rice Law Office can help with this. Our focus on employment law includes representation in social security, personal injury, workers’ compensation, discrimination and termination cases. Often, employees who are injured at work or elsewhere, become disabled and risk losing their job. The laws which govern these cases can be complicated and it is important to carefully consider your options before ruling out or ruling in any type of claim. The toughest thing about these cases is you don’t know what you don’t know until it is too late and it’s important to call an experienced employment attorney early before your options have been limited by time or lack of information.
At Rice Law office we lend you our experience to even the playing field. With our help, you can take advantage of the benefits you have paid for and earned over the years when you need it the most.
If your hurt, you need to focus on getting better, let us take care of the rest. Call Rice Law Office at 524-5426
