Reverse SSDI Offset for WC and PDB

If you are employed in a State with a valid Reverse Offset Plan, then your Workers' Compensation (WC) or Public Disability Benefit (PDB) may be reduced because of your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) - Title II benefit.

Your SSDI benefit will not be reduced because of WC or PDB payments as long as those benefits are paid under a specific Reverse Offset plan that is recognized by SSA as a valid plan;

NOTE: Your employment rather than your personal State of Residence determines whether the Reverse Offset or Regular Offset applies. EXAMPLE: A worker residing in Florida (which has a valid WC Reverse Offset plan) receives a Federal WC payment under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). The FECA benefit is not under the Florida WC law and, therefore, the Regular Offset will be used.

A State that provides for the reduction of WC may "waive" that reduction in an individual case. In such cases your SSDI benefit still will not be reduced because of your WC payment.

If your State's Reverse Offset plan was revised after 2/18/81, SSA does not recognize any change made to the plan after that date. But, offset provisions that were in effect before 2/19/81 will still be recognized.
