Best Answer

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.

Do you have to pay student loans while on workers comp?

In general, your wages can be garnished for defaulted student loans without a judgement. Workmans compensation is exempt from garnishment. Just be sure that you notify the creditor that money in your bank account is exempt, and make sure there is no other money being placed into your account other then Workmans comp income. Otherwise your account will be considered "co-mingled" and they can take money from it.Note that student loans are now generally not dischargeable through bankruptcy.However,It is fairly difficult to satisfy the requirements for an undue hardship petition, which generally requires demonstrating that you made a good faith effort to repay the debt, that you will not be able to maintain a minimal standard of living and still repay the debt (usually using the lowest monthly payment under any of the repayment plans, typically income-contiengent or income-based repayment), and that the conditions that prevent you from repaying the debt will likely persist for most of the full term of the loan.
