Can the employer offset my workers compensation benefits by the amount of long or short-term disability benefits I receive?
Whether the employer is entitled to offset your workers’ compensation benefits by the amount of your disability benefits depends on who paid the premium for the disability benefits. If you paid for the disability premium, then the employer is not entitled to a credit. The extent of the employer’s offset or credit is complicated if both you and the employer paid a portion of the premium. You should consult an attorney to discuss the extent of the offset, if any, that the employer is entitled to.
