Questions About Georgia Workers' Compensation
Robbins & Associates, PC - Serving Atlanta and Georgia
How will workers’ compensation affect my Social Security benefits?
YWhen you receive workers' compensation or other public disability benefits, it is possible that your Social Security benefits may be reduced. Workers' compensation benefits are paid to an injured worker by federal or state workers' compensation agencies, by employers, or by insurance companies on behalf of employers. The law states that if you are receiving workers' compensation benefits along with Social Security disability benefits, the total amount of these benefits combined cannot exceed 80% of your income before you became disabled.
