Common Questions Asked About Disability Claims in Florida

Q: Is it possible to obtain both the State Workers’ Compensation Benefits and Social Security Benefits?

A: Yes, an injured worker is eligible to receive both – the State’s and the Federal compensations. However, there are limits to the amounts that an employee may receive.

In most states the limit is defined by a percentage of the individual’s ACE (Average Current Earnings) and is computed by the FSS (Federal Social Security) program.

Your state may also have a statute which allows credit to be taken by the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance provider. This is called a reverse offset and it is enacted in 14 jurisdictions, however, after the age of 62 there is no offset in the vast majority of jurisdictions.

Call us at 727-894-3188 to determine your limit and have your case handled by professionals. Our knowledge and experience allows us to attain your compensation surely and securely. Do not hesitate – call us today for your estimate.
