Can I Collect Minnesota Workers Compensation AND Social Security Disability?

YES you can depending upon why you received workers compensation benefits and why you were awarded social security disability benefits.  We frequently have clients with workers compensation injuries who later qualify for social security disability benefits.  In fact, we use some of the same information and evidence to support both claims. 

The Social Security Administration (SSA) allows for the simultaneous receipt of medical and disability benefits with workers’ compensation benefits.  There is a limit though of up to a maximum of 80% of the employee’s average current earnings (ACE) at the onset of an injured workers disability. The Social Security Administration will, however, “offset” or reduce SSDI payments if the combination of workers’ compensation and social security benefits exceed 80% of the ACE.

The attorneys at Minnesota Disability and Atkinson Law Office have tried hundreds of cases to hearing before BOTH Minnesota Workers Compensation judges and ODAR SSDI Law Judges throughout Minnesota.  We have a dedicated and experienced support staff waiting to assist you with your claim.  With over 20 years experience each in working with injured and disabled claimants, we are here to help.  There is NEVER a fee unless we recover benefits for you.

Attorney's Tom and Kerry Atkinson provide personal experience to you with your cases and can assist you with the coordination of your benefits.  Call today for a free consultation.  651-333-3636 and visit our website for additional information today.  www.mndisability.com
