Social Security and Disability Benefits Working Together
If you are unable to work full-time due to a disabling medical condition, you may be eligible for several different types of government and private benefits. These may include Social Security disability, workers’ compensation, and long-term disability benefits.
At Slepian Ellexson, PLLC, our primary focus is helping clients pursue Social Security disability claims. However, we can also help you understand the relationship between these different types of benefits so you can receive the maximum amount of benefits you are entitled to. Our social security disability lawyers are here to help you get approved for benefits and feel informed while doing so.
Understanding the Different Types of Benefits Available
During the process of helping you apply for Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income benefits, we may find that you could also qualify for long-term disability benefits or workers’ compensation.
- Long-term disability: If you or your employer has purchased a private long-term disability insurance policy, you may be eligible for disability benefits under this policy.
- Workers’ compensation: If you have become disabled as a result of an injury you suffered on the job, you may be eligible for disability benefits through workers’ compensation.
The relationships between these different types of benefits can be complex, and they are not all based on the same definition of what it means to be disabled. Therefore, if you are in need of long-term disability benefits or workers’ compensation, we may refer you to another firm to ensure you get the correct guidance.
