Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
A serious workplace injury can mean months and even years of recovery. If your injury or disability is expected to last more than 12 months, you may also be entitled to SSDI benefits for income loss. Additionally, individuals receiving SSDI benefits may also be entitled to receive Medicare benefits for medical expenses. Not only is it important to coordinate these claims effectively, but it is also important to ensure all parties are acknowledged and notified when you are considering settling your workers' compensation case.
When you receive Medicare benefits following a workplace accident, it is important to understand that Medicare has a right to file a lien against any future workers' compensation settlement or third-party liability settlement. When your workers' compensation case (or personal injury case) is settled, Medicare may be reimbursed for previously provided medical benefits from your settlement proceeds. An experienced Brooklyn workers' compensation attorney is necessary to navigate the complexity of this legal process.
