			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>How will my Workers&#8217; Compensation Case Affect my Social Security Case?</strong></h1>
<p>Your workers&#8217; comp case may significantly impact your disability case. It may affect your benefits in that workers&#8217; comp payments may totally offset your Social Security payments. If this is the case, it may not be possible for my office to handle your case on a contingency basis, since there may be no back benefits paid to you (and therefore payment for us!).</p>
<p>In other cases, your workers&#8217; comp settlement can be structured as a lifetime payout, thereby reducing (or even eliminating) the worker&#8217;s comp offset. If this is the case, then we can help you maximize your Social Security benefits.</p>
<p>If you do have a workers comp claim, then it is imperative that you advise us about it up front so that we can properly advise you about Social Security Disability. We also specialize in workers comp here at Ginsberg Law Offices, so our clients are fortunate in that they get the expertise and experience in both workers&#8217; compensation and Social Security Disability when they hire us. We may even be able to represent you in your workers&#8217; comp case.</p>
