The physical Disability insurance contract provided by the insurance company will have all of the information needed to determine whether they will want their money back if a claimant is eligible for Social-Security (SS) benefits.
If you have Disability insurance under a group policy (through work), there is a good chance that they will want a refund for benefits paid on any month that you were eligible and receive SS benefits. This will often be described very clearly in the contract. Group contracts will often offset your benefits, dollar-for-dollar (100%) with an benefits received from SS and family SS. In order to be sure, simply reference the contract you have.
With individual Disability coverage you should know if any of your benefits will offset with SS benefits. Benefits are classified as "Base benefits", which do not offset or "Social Insurance benefits" which is an optional rider you can add to your coverage and will offset dollar-for-dollar with SS benefits. This information will be found in your original contract. In order to know for sure, you should reference the contract.
*There are many different names for the Social insurance rider. Every company has their own variation, but the conditions are similar.

When you are awarded Social Security Disability why do you have to repay a portion of your benefit to the insurance carrier when you paid LTD benefits through your employer with after tax dollars?
There are two circumstances in which you would have to repay benefits once you qualify for Social Security disability benefits:The first is if you own an individual Disability policy that includes a Social Insurance offset benefit. Social Insurance benefits are benefits that the insurance company pays on a disability claim, but will offset dollar-for-dollar with social security benefits.The second is if someone receiving benefits from a group Disability policy is eligible for social security benefits. Every group policy will have a provision in the contract that explains how benefits will be handled when a claimant is eligible for social security benefits. As much as group policies are great because they are less expensive and usually can be obtained without medical underwriting, the contract itself is not as good. In a sense, you get what you pay for. Most group disability policies will offset dollar-for-dollar with any social security benefits received, including personal and family benefits. In many situations the amount you will receive from the actual disability insurance company will be minimal.More specific to the question being asked - it can take a long time for social security benefits to be approved and paid. Therefore, many times the insurance companies will pay out benefits during months in which a claimant was technically eligible for social security benefits. Once the social security benefits are approved and paid, the claimant will be expected to repay the insurance company for all benefits paid that would otherwise have been offset. A claimant will not be expected to repay benefits for months in which they were not eligible for social security disability benefits.

How can I Qualify for Social Security Disability?
Social security disability insurance is never a source of income that individuals want to have. However, many individuals end up with a physical or mental illness that allows them to qualify for social security disability. There are several criteria that individuals must meet before they can be approved for disability payments. First, individuals must earn credit. Workers earn credits towards social security disability based upon their income. Each year a fixed rate of dollars earned to credits is set by the Social Security Administration. For example, one year a credit may be earned for every $1,000 in income. Another year may have an individual earning one credit for every $1,500 in income. Individuals must pay social security taxes on the income in order to earn credit towards social security disability. Second, individuals must have a qualified disability. A patient cannot simply decide to enroll in social security disability because they need money. They must have a qualified disability that meets specific criteria. Individuals must be unable to return to their previous type of work, unable to change to a new job due to their medical condition and have a disability that will last at least one year or result in death. Many individuals who attempt to claim social security disability have their first claim rejected. The Social Security Administration does not want to pay out claims for individuals who are not disabled. They take extreme security measures to ensure that individuals with a bona fide disability receive the payments that they deserve. There are some conditions which are automatically approved for disability. Other conditions may require a medical examination and review before individuals will have their claim approved. Anyone filing a social security disability claim should be aware that it can take months or years in order to receive disability payments. Social security disability provides payment for the necessary items that individuals need to live their day to day lives. There are a number of diseases and medical conditions that automatically qualify an individual for social security disability. However, individuals who do not have one of these conditions but believe they are disabled may still qualify. They simply need to contact their nearest Social Security Administration for assistance filing a claim.
Can you collect unemployment in Ohio while waiting to be approved for disability?
Legally, yes, but it may be a factor in whether you're approved for Social Security Disability (SSDI).While the Social Security Administration doesn't prohibit people on (SSDI) disability from receiving unemployment checks, state unemployment regulations usually require all unemployment recipients to be willing and able to accept full-time work.This creates a conflict, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
What percentage do you reimburse your insurance company when you are approved for Social Security Disability?
This will depend on the type of coverage that you have, and more specifically the provisions of your coverage.If you have group coverage, then the chances are very high that your benefits will offset dollar-for-dollar (100%) with any social security benefits you receive, including family social security benefits as well.If you are a Federal government employee, then your benefits will be affected as stated in the FERS program. The FERS program states that 100% of Social security benefits will be offset in the first 12 months of a claim, but only 60% of SS security benefits will offset for each month thereafter.If you have an individually owned policy then you will have to review the provisions of your contract. Insurance companies offer a rider known as Social insurance benefits or Supplemental disability benefits. This is essentially a monthly benefit that will be paid when you are eligible for an insurance claim but not eligible for Social security benefits. If you are eligible for SS benefits, then the benefits from this rider will offset dollar-for-dollar (100%) with any SS benefits you receive. The basic or base disability benefit that your contract provides will not offset at all with social security benefits.
