If I receive worker’s compensation benefits, am I still eligible for Social Security disability benefits?

While receiving worker’s compensation does not necessarily disqualify an individual from receiving disability benefits from Social Security, it can reduce the amount of benefits for which a disabled individual is eligible. However, disability payments from private sources, such as pension plans, do not have any effect on Social Security disability benefits.
