Your Social Security benefits would be reduced to $1500 to meet your cap of $4000. Consider consulting a social security lawyer or a Social Security representative, if any of your current workers compensation benefits are increased, reduced, or paid via one large sum (instead of in installments). Any changes to your workers compensation can affect your social security benefits. Q: Are my Social Security benefits contingent upon my assets? A: Your assets should not affect your Social Security Disability benefits. Social security disability benefits are awarded based on how long you were in the workforce and how much you paid into the Social Security system.
