    Question:

    If I Receive Workers’ Compensation, Am I Also Entitled to Social Security Disability Benefits?

    video featuring workers' compensation attorney Phil Turcy

    Answer:

    A lot of the clients that I represent, particularly out in the Naperville area, have injuries that cannot be resolved quickly. The nature of the accident and the nature of the injury means that they’re undergoing a lot of treatment over a protracted period of time. Once it looks like a claim is not going to be resolved within the first year, you’re entitled to apply for Social Security disability benefits. You can receive both workers’ compensation benefits and Social Security disability benefits concurrently. Depending on several factors, including how much money you’re making under your workers’ compensation TTD payments, you may not receive a full Social Security benefit. It may be offset slightly, but you are definitely entitled to receive that. If you find yourself in a position like that and you have questions, please contact me. We can help you navigate obtaining those Social Security benefits and augmenting the money you’re receiving under your TTD payments.
