Information for injured workers in North Carolina

Q: If I am entitled to Social Security disability benefits and I settle my workers’ compensation claim so that I stop receiving weekly workers’ compensation benefits, do I need to report this change to the Social Security Administration?

A: Yes, if you were receiving both Social Security disability benefits and Workers’ Compensation benefits, you were probably only receiving a small portion of Social Security disability benefits. If you settle your Workers’ Compensation claim so that you stop receiving weekly benefits, then you can begin to earn a higher Social Security disability benefit by contacting the Social Security Administration. In North Carolina, the Social Security Administration will need to see the Industrial Commission Order approving your settlement and proof of the amount of workers’ compensation benefit you received. You need to take all of your Workers’ Compensation settlement papers to the Social Security Administration office.
