Frequently Asked Questions about Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability

Q:

Will I receive two one-time economic recovery payments if I receive both Social Security and SSI?  And, if I have a representative payee who will receive my payment?

No, you will receive only ONE economic recovery payment regardless of how many types of benefits you receive.  If you have a representative payee, your representative will receive your payment.  He/she will be required by law to use the payment for your personal benefit.
