No life insurance will have no effect on social security. The only way it would count is if it pays over time and then might be seen as income.

No, having life insurance does not affect survivorship benefits from Social Security. Survivorship benefits are provided by the Social Security Administration and are separate from any private life insurance policies. The receipt of life insurance benefits does not impact the eligibility or amount of survivorship benefits from Social Security.

Can you receive disability from your job and disability from social security at the same time?
Yes, it is very common for disability insurance plans to include a clause for social security disability, meaning the insurance company will pay a portion of the monthly benefit, expecting that you would apply for social security benefits to pay for the "Supplemental Social Security benefits". In the event you get declined by Social Security, then the insurance company would cover the additional supplemental benefits. Employer group plans as well as individual disability insurance plans can include that clause.

When you are awarded Social Security Disability why do you have to repay a portion of your benefit to the insurance carrier when you paid LTD benefits through your employer with after tax dollars?
There are two circumstances in which you would have to repay benefits once you qualify for Social Security disability benefits:The first is if you own an individual Disability policy that includes a Social Insurance offset benefit. Social Insurance benefits are benefits that the insurance company pays on a disability claim, but will offset dollar-for-dollar with social security benefits.The second is if someone receiving benefits from a group Disability policy is eligible for social security benefits. Every group policy will have a provision in the contract that explains how benefits will be handled when a claimant is eligible for social security benefits. As much as group policies are great because they are less expensive and usually can be obtained without medical underwriting, the contract itself is not as good. In a sense, you get what you pay for. Most group disability policies will offset dollar-for-dollar with any social security benefits received, including personal and family benefits. In many situations the amount you will receive from the actual disability insurance company will be minimal.More specific to the question being asked - it can take a long time for social security benefits to be approved and paid. Therefore, many times the insurance companies will pay out benefits during months in which a claimant was technically eligible for social security benefits. Once the social security benefits are approved and paid, the claimant will be expected to repay the insurance company for all benefits paid that would otherwise have been offset. A claimant will not be expected to repay benefits for months in which they were not eligible for social security disability benefits.

What percentage do you reimburse your insurance company when you are approved for Social Security Disability?
This will depend on the type of coverage that you have, and more specifically the provisions of your coverage.If you have group coverage, then the chances are very high that your benefits will offset dollar-for-dollar (100%) with any social security benefits you receive, including family social security benefits as well.If you are a Federal government employee, then your benefits will be affected as stated in the FERS program. The FERS program states that 100% of Social security benefits will be offset in the first 12 months of a claim, but only 60% of SS security benefits will offset for each month thereafter.If you have an individually owned policy then you will have to review the provisions of your contract. Insurance companies offer a rider known as Social insurance benefits or Supplemental disability benefits. This is essentially a monthly benefit that will be paid when you are eligible for an insurance claim but not eligible for Social security benefits. If you are eligible for SS benefits, then the benefits from this rider will offset dollar-for-dollar (100%) with any SS benefits you receive. The basic or base disability benefit that your contract provides will not offset at all with social security benefits.
