Yes this is very possible because the amount is replacing wages that you had not yet received and paid any income tax on yet.

So the amount will be subject to income taxes in the year that you receive the amount of lost wages.

In simpler terms, there is typically no profit or gain involved and therefore no taxable income. As in many things though there is however a grey area.
