What Do I Need To Do About The Settlement I Received?
I sued my former employer for unpaid overtime and we have just settled. I was declared medically dissabled due to a renal cell carcinoma diagnosis and am collecting SSDI. This is for wages prior to my r
becoming dissabled. What do I do?
Hi,
What you should do is contact Social Security and explain to them the circumstances of your settlement. Otherwise, assuming that your employer reports the settlement as earnings and withholds payroll taxes, Social Security will likely assume that you earned the money after you started drawing your Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. Social Security should then be able to advise you if they need you to submit any documentation.
Best, Jerry
