Should Workman's compensation use your Social Security as offset for their payments?

If Social Security is a Constitutionally, Legal, Federal Government Program the answer is no. If Social Security is an unConstitutional, Federal Government Program the answer is still no. Money was taken from the workers wages by the Federal Government which promised to return the money at retirement, or in case of a debilitating injury. Legal or not legal, to take a mans money from him without his expressed permission is robbery. Workman's Compensation, by taking a workers Social Security wages, is guilty of theft if Social Security is Constitutional, or guilty of accessory to theft if Social Security is unConstitutional.


Do you have to pay taxes on workmans comp in the state of Maryland?

Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors. The exemption, however, does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on your age, length of service, or prior contributions to the plan, even if you retired because of an occupational sickness or injury. If part of your workers' compensation reduces your social security or equivalent railroad retirement benefits received, that part is considered social security (or equivalent railroad retirement) benefits and may be taxable. For a discussion of the taxability of these benefits, see Other Income under Miscellaneous Income, later. Go to the IRS.gov web site and use the search box for Publication 525 Taxable and Nontaxable income


Can you claim SDI if im colleting workmens compensation?

You can file for SSDI if you are receiving workers' compensation benefits. The Social Security office will probably send a form to the carrier handling your claim requesting information about any wage benefits you are being paid. SSDI benefits may be offset (reduced) by workers' comp wage benefits, but the fact that you are receiving work comp does not prevent you from being able to apply for and receive SSDI.

Is Florida one of the states that offset unemployment benefits by your Social Security benefit amount?

No. The five states that offset unemployment benefits by your Social Security are: Illinois, Louisiana, South Dakota, Utah and Virginia. South Dakota and Virginia formally repealed their offset laws, but have a provision allowing them to reduce unemployment compensation by 50% of your Social Security benefit when the state unemployment funds drop below a pre-determined threshold. The long recession and high unemployment rate have triggered temporary (but indefinite) offsets in these states.
