Question

Answer 1

If you are on workers comp , your attorney should answer the questions relevant to your case as it is over a year old.
You become eligible for SS at the 6 month of disability but the application process usually takes about 2 years.
They routinely deny the first app and appeal . . . you see a live person on the 2nd appeal.
SS is a totally separate program and payments from SS do not affect WC nor does WC affect SS (only that the injury base is the same).

Answer 3

Workers comp is paid through a private insurance carrier (unless you have a state plan that your employer has purchased). Social security disability is on the web site for social security. It takes almost 6 months to get an answer for a claim that is filed for ss disability. And if the injury is from a work injury they will not take the claim and pay you benefits. It has to remain under the w.c. claim and carrier. You can't collect both at the same time, and you have to tell each one about the other one or you could be in big trouble.

SS will ask you about this.............and your company will probably have to turn over their paperwork on you. You will probably lose your workers comp. payments. But, SS Disability is very hard to get on. You are usually turned down the first few times. And it gets harder each time you apply because they really won't reconsider it on appeal unless you can prove something has changed for the worse.

As for WC.......since you are already receiving payments from Work. Comp. you should be able to access any website or have a number you can call to get these Questions answered

once you filed your unique application for SS incapacity reward, they ask those 2 questions: "Is your incapacity artwork appropriate?" and "have you ever utilized for people repayment?" in case you responded confident to the two of those questions, they have positioned a diary on your declare whilst approved to check on the status of your people repayment. whilst your case is sent to the fee middle for processing they could deliver you a questionnaire to get suggestions approximately your people repayment. you extremely do not choose to be cheating approximately this. in case you fail to grant SS suggestions or make a pretend assertion which you knew ought to influence your benefit volume and additionally you adjust into overpaid, you not basically could desire to pay back the overpayment, yet you additionally can get carry of an administrative sanction. this suggests the lack of exams for 6 months for the 1st offense.
