Social Security and Ohio Workers' Compensation Insurance

Social Security is a federal government program intended to assist workers who have suffered disabilities that prevent them from being able to work. When a worker's injuries are permanent or anticipated to last longer than one year, the disabled worker may be entitled to receive Social Security Disability benefits.

Social Security provides Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for disabled workers. Disability insurance benefits are the most common form of Social Security benefits. Employees pay into the Social Security program over time through their paychecks. The amount of disability insurance compensation a disabled worker may be entitled to depends on how much he or she has paid into the system over time. A disabled worker who has no assets and has not paid into the Social Security system may also be eligible to receive compensation in the form of Supplemental Security Income.
