If you receive workers’ compensation, it may reduce Social Security benefits for you and your family. The total amount of workers’ compensation and SSD benefits you receive cannot exceed 80 percent of your average pre-injury earnings. If the combined benefits exceed 80 percent, the SSA will lower your benefits until you reach the 80 percent threshold.
