After my claim was denied, I applied for short-term disability benefits for the time that I was off of work. What happens to that money if I am awarded workers compensation benefits?
A. If you are awarded workers’ compensation benefits, you may only claim the differenceif anybetween the short- or long-term-disability pay that you received and what you would have been entitled to in TTD benefits. The workers’ compensation insurance carrier should then reimburse the short- or long-term disability carrier what was paid to you. However, you might be entitled to both TTD & STD/LTD if you paid the STD/LTD premium.
