I've been trying to get answers from SSI for two months. I finally got the 80% of my earnings before being disabled figured out. : / I have some questions for you. I hope you can help me, I need to get back to my attorney with an answer. My average weekly income prior being disabled was $510.99 weekly or $2,043.96 monthly. 80% is $1635.18. The order by worker's comp was $223. weekly for 162.5 weeks. The biggest question I have is whether I should take my payment from worker's comp. weekly or in a lump sum? I am on SSDI, so all that applies with that is effected. If I'm getting $1221. in SSDI and $892. in Worker's Comp monthly, totally $2113. Based on SSI's formula and my 80% average prior being $1635.18… and the difference between the total of both incomes minus my average. SSDI will reduce my payment by $477.83 a month. I think??? If I get a LUMP SUM payment based on weekly payments of $223. for 162.5 weeks totally $36,237.50 MINUS fees I'd get a LUMP SUM check for $29,758.05 for 134.7 weeks. Is the same formula used for weekly payments and a lump sum payments if the order states weekly payments? What formula would I use if different? How would I calculate this? Would my payments still be reduced by $477.83 a month for 162.5 weeks or something else? Am I calculating this right? Anyone!!! If you can email me or know the answers to my questions please respond. I have trouble finding the answers when I return to these things, but I'll try my hardest. I am 45 and I settled with workers comp in Feb 2008. I recieved a structured settlement of $100,000 over 15 years, which is $650 a month and a lump sum settlement of $78,768 after attorney fees.In the settlement papers they broke it down like this: $78,768 spreaded over my life expectancy of 33.13 years which is 397.56 months. This would be $198.13 per month. I was just approved for SSD, so they will deduct $198.13 from my benefits for the lump sum settlement. They base it on your age and your life expectancy. If your looking at getting around $29,000 you probably want be able to tell that they even off-set it. The settlement papers will have it broke down for you. Hope this helps.

His 1099 showed 90% of money paid to Workers Comp offset and my son only got less than 10% of total. I don't really understand and wonder who gets worker comp offset? Should my son receives the workers comp offset as well? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks you very much for reading! Jen Dear Mr. Ginsberg,
