While the Social Security Administration (SSA) does not reduce Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) based on any long-term disability benefits, VA disability benefits, or claim settlements; Workers’ Compensation can offset these benefits. Any income received from work is subject to a complex set of rules. Its impact on an individual’s benefits will depend on several factors – including when the income was earned (while the claim is pending or after benefits have been awarded), the amount of income earned on a monthly and quarterly basis, and for how long the income was earned. With this in mind, it is a wise idea to always consult an experienced disability benefits attorney.
