Some programs are not affected by the receipt of workers’ compensation benefits. For example, individuals collect disability benefits from the Veterans Administration while obtaining workers’ compensation without an impact on the ability to collect benefits from either program.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and workers’ compensation are not always compatible, however. This is because workers’ compensation benefits usually put the individual over the maximum income level they can have and still retain SSDI benefits.
Our experienced workers’ compensation lawyers can help you understand which assistance programs are available to you given the circumstances of your disability, and the potential impacts of workers’ compensation on your eligibility for other programs.
