Public benefits, like workers compensation, will be used to determine benefit payments though. An <a href=\"\/\/www.ssa.gov\/pubs\/EN-05-10018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SSA Press Release<\/a> explains the total amount of any public benefits a claimant receives cannot exceed 80 percent of the claimant\u2019s average income earnings before becoming disabled. Any excess will be deducted from the final payout that SSA administers.<\/p>\n<p>The only public benefits to receive an exception to the rules are payments from the Veterans Administration, Supplemental Security Income, or certain state and local benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The SSA adds that any change in income status can directly affect <strong><a href=\"\/\/www.lawyersforsocialsecurity.com\/factors-affecting-claims.php\">Social Security Disability Payments<\/a> <\/strong>and should immediately be reported to the agency.
