Frequently Asked Questions

Does SSDI reduce my long-term disability payments?
Usually yes. Most employer group LTD policies offset SSDI dollar-for-dollar. When your SSDI is approved, the insurer reduces its payment by the SSDI amount, and may recover an overpayment for the retroactive period it already paid in full.
Why does my LTD carrier make me apply for SSDI?
Because the policy allows the insurer to offset SSDI, it saves money when you receive it. Many carriers even provide SSDI application assistance. If approved, expect a reconciliation of the back pay.
Are dependent SSDI benefits offset?
Many group LTD policies offset both your SSDI and the dependent benefits paid on your record. Others offset only your primary benefit. The exact treatment depends on your policy language.
Is my LTD benefit taxable?
If your employer paid the LTD premiums, benefits are generally taxable. If you paid premiums with after-tax dollars, benefits are usually tax-free. SSDI may be partially taxable depending on total household income.
