Legal Question in Social Security Law in Minnesota

payback disability payments?

My husband has been recieving disability payments from his employer since he became sick 4 years ago. He has finally won his claim for SS disability. Do we have to payback the disability insurance he was paid? He has about $40,000 sitting in savings now. He is still getting payments from ss and private disability. We don't know what to do. Thanks.

Re: payback disability payments?

Generally, one has to pay back disability carriers if you get social security for the same time period. I say generally because it is dependent on the contract. Also, you may get a guaranteed benefit over and aboce social security, so the pay back may not be the full amount.
