Many injured workers do not realize that they must protect themselves is they are receiving Social Security disability benefits and attempting to settle their workers’ compensation claim.
If you want to continue to receive Social Security after you have settled your workers comp claim, you must have the proper language in the settle documents, as well as, a Medicare Set aside.
This is frequently a long and arduous process, but well worth it. You can receive your workers’ compensation settlement and Social Security disability benefits, just call and ask how.
