Can I Apply For Disability While On Workers’ Compensation In Michigan?
Yes. If you are on workers’ comp in Michigan, you can also apply for Social Security Disability (SSDI).
You can apply for short-term disability (STD) or long-term disability (LTD).
Be aware that your social security disability payments may be reduced if combined payments exceed 80% of your prior earnings.
One option we recommend is to do a lump-sum settlement for workers’ comp to avoid this offset.
It is smart to consult a workers’ comp attorney before applying.
