If you are determined partially disabled by a Workman's Compensation physician can you also collect disability insurance?
It would depend on your disability insurance plan. Some plans exclude work-related disabilities. If your plan excludes work-related disabilities, then you would initially be denied through your disability insurance. You should still file a claim with them however. If your Worker's Compensation claim ends up being denied though, you could then forward a copy of the denial letter to your disability insurance carrier for review of possible approval. If your plan does not exclude work-related disabilities, then you would be able to file both claims. You would just want to make sure that when filing, each carrier knew about the other. Keep in mind, the benefit you receive through Worker's Compensation will be a direct offset to the benefit provided by the disability insurance.
Is disability payment tax excempt?
Not necessarily. This can be confusing for many. The key is who paid the premium for the disability insurance in the first place. If you pay for your own disability insurance plan completely then it may not be taxable. First, if your premium for disability insurance is paid by your employer, then it is always taxable. If you pay the premiums through a cafeteria plan, section 125 plan or such tax qualified plan where the premium is paid for with before tax money then the disability benefits are always taxable. If an only if you pay the premiums yourself by purchasing a private disability income policy and you pay the premiums with after tax money then the benefits are not taxable at all. I hope this helps you. A key tell all is if you recieve a 1099 form for your benefits for disability, then you will have to report the income on your tax return and pay taxes on the benefit. The IRS gets copies of all forms that you get and they match them up to make sur you paid tax on everything you were supposed to pay tax on.

What causes a disability?
A disability is caused by an accident or illness. The illness can be acute or chronic. Whether or not you're eligible to receive any benefits due to your disability depends on what kind of insurance coverage you have. If your disability is work-related, you may be entitled to workers comp benefits that your employer may have purchased. In most states, this is required. You may also be eligible for government benefits that you've paid for with income taxes. If your disability is not work-related, you still may be eligible for government benefits or you may purchased a personal disability insurance policy to pay you benefits. Whether you receive disability benefits from your own insurance policy or a government plan, the definition of disability contained in the policy will tell you what constitutes a disability. Did you mean to ask, what is the definition of disability? That can vary from policy to policy and, since that kind of insurance can be very complex, I would check for your particular policy. mcdlife.com
