My husband won a W.C settlement and will never work again and now is getting his SSDI check. But W.C is taking out $600.00 a month out of his SSDI check every month until he pays back the money he got from the W.C settlement. Can they do this? If so why even file a claim.

me and my soon to be ex split up 4 months after he went on disability, he has been collecting workmans comp for 2 yrs since and soon will be settling with them for a lump sum the judge is aware of this and my ex was to notify his workmans comp attorney and they are to notify me when he receives the settlement. I’m asking for 1/2 since we were married for 28 yrs, had 2 children and the marriage ended due to he infidelity I’m having a heck of a time just getting the 125 on the 1st and the 15th from him is there a form that I can submit to the judge that can be forwarded to workmans comp and they can pay me directly since I know he will not give me what I’m entitle to. Also he is now getting a small portion of that settlement along with sdi.

snow hill, NC at mediation signed a msa and mra which only listed the specifics of the settlement and that i would receive a more detailed final copy and an agr these are to be signed and then sent for judges approval however just received the final copy apparently prepared by employer and insurance co it was full of lies, wrong information, just enough detail to make them look good but not telling the whole story, important things left out and on the release and waiver of employment section where at mediation i was asked to resign yet in this detailed copy that i just received the work termination is used and that i have the right for unemployment i will not sign these papers what happens is i don’t sign them do they withdraw the lump sum settlement and i go with the live time weekly checks it says that after i sign i have 7 days to serve a written notice of revocation but at this point every paragraph in 17 pages would require changes because the statements are not correct so do i have to sign then do the revocation or just not sign at all and then what happens

What to do after short term disability seizes and I can’t return to work

I have been on short term disability through my employer since December 1st. It is due to expire June 1st. I have been seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, panic attacks and agoraphobia. I also have asthma which triggers a lot of attacks. What should I apply for (ex. SSI, SSD, etc.) I am not clear as to what the differences are and all that I can apply for. I do not see myself being able to return to work for quite a while, if at all. I can not drive due to this, nor can I go into certain places, deal with a lot of stress, certain lighting affects me, I can’t concentrate, focus or remember a lot. Are my chances for approval for SSI and/or SSD higher because I was approved for short term disability originally? What steps should I take? Thank you!
