W/C and Disability payments. Both ?

[rickisup]

What is the name of your state? nm I am currently receiving W/C payments (temp). I am now going to start receiving disability payments thru a disability insurance co we had at work( not social security). Can I receive both or do they off-set each other ?

Coordinated benefits

I live in NJ but am in the same situation that you are. You can contact your private carrier for an explaination which is specific to your coverage. In my case the private carrier pays 66.6% of salary. Since they coordinate with WC, which pays 70%, I am only entitled to their minimum benefit. (about $250.00/Mo.) If I can't ever return to my current occupation, and WC benefits stop, then they will pay 66.6% of salary. Good luck.
