Can I receive both Social Security Disability and workers’ compensation simultaneously?

By Sami

Yes, but workers’ compensation may reduce your SSDI benefits. Federal law limits combined SSDI and workers’ comp payments to 80% of your average current earnings before disability. If combined benefits exceed this limit, the SSA reduces your SSDI payment. SSI has different rules; workers’ comp may count as income, reducing or eliminating SSI benefits. We help structure benefits to maximize your total monthly payments.
