Yes, but your total benefits may be reduced. Federal law allows workers’ compensation offset against SSDI benefits when combined payments exceed 80% of your average current earnings before disability. The offset reduces SSDI, not workers’ comp. SSI recipients face different rules; workers’ comp generally counts as income, reducing SSI dollar-for-dollar. South Carolina workers’ compensation settlements must be carefully structured to minimize Social Security offsets. We coordinate with workers’ comp attorneys to structure settlements protecting maximum disability benefits. Never settle workers’ comp claims without consulting a Social Security disability attorney about potential offsets.
