Warning

December 8, 2007 by Dirk.

If you have a Workers’ Compensation case pending while your Social Security case is ongoing, you must tell your Workers’ Compensation lawyer about your Social Security disability case.

The reason is that your Workers’ Compensation settlement will count against your Social Security disability benefits and reduce your payment amounts unless special language is added to your settlement contract.

Your lawyer cannot add the language to your settlement contract unless she knows that you have filed for Social Security disability.

If your lawyer wants to know the specific language needed have them contact me.

There is no sense in winning your Social Security disability case and then not being able to collect the money because of your Workers’ Compensation settlement.
