US workers compensation insurance carriers, third party claims administrators and self insureds all keep detailed records on how much they have paid on au00a0 given claim. It is broken down into medical payments and indemnity payments and claim expenses.For FAFSA's purposes , you want the indemnity payments which consists of lost time benefits and any settlement or award for your wage loss or disability.If you received a settlement or an award that was paid in a lump sum, it may have been a blend of medical and indemnity which makes it harder to break into accurate components. If there was a settlement, the document itself may recite how much was allocated to disability , disputed lost time, etc.Usually when a person has a lawyer, the carrier will notu00a0 ( is ethically prohibited , actually) from talking directly to the claimant. However,u00a0 for administrativeu00a0 things, the claim adjuster should be willing to give you the information needed. If the case is being litigated, your lawyers office needs to make the call. Regardless, it is simple and easy to retrieve on the carrier's end.There will not be a 1099 or W2. Also, worker's compensation benefits are notu00a0 considered income under the Internal Revenue Code, so look carefully at the way FAFSA asks the question- you may not need this after all.
