What is the difference between Workers Compensation and Social Security Disability?
Workers Compensation is provided for injured workers and pays medical benefits and a percentage of lost income as a result of a work-related accident. Social Security Disability is payable to an individual who qualifies regardless of how they became disabled; it is not necessary to demonstrate that the disability was the result of a work related injury.
