Reg. 31.3121(a)(4)-1 says no FICA after 6 months: § 31.3121(a)(4)-1 Payments on account of sickness or accident disability, or medical or hospitalization expenses. The term ''wages'' does not include any payment made by an employer to, or on behalf of, an employee on account of the employee's sickness or accident disability or the medical or hospitalization expenses in connection with the employee's sickness or accident disability, if such payment is made after the expiration of 6 calendar months following the last calendar month in which such employee worked for such employer. Such payments are excluded from wages under this exception even though not made under a plan or system. If the employee does not actually perform services for the employer during the requisite period, the existence of the employer- employee relationship during that period is immaterial.

Yes, you can receive long-term disability benefits from a group plan through your employer and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) simultaneously. However, many group long-term disability plans have provisions that may reduce the benefits you receive from the plan by any SSDI payments you are eligible for. It's essential to review the specific terms of your group plan to understand how it interacts with SSDI benefits. Consulting with a benefits specialist or attorney can also provide clarity on your situation.
if your long term disability is integrated with social security disability, then yes. This is the case for most employer paid long term disability plans, or your employee benefits package. If the Long-Term DI policy is an individual plan, not through your employer - you could receive the full base benefit if it's not integraded with Social Security Disability Benefits.
