Question
Can I still be able to file for short term disability benefits under my employer policy while receiving Social Security?
Answer
Patricia, You would still be able to file for short term disability benefits under your employer policy. However, please note that any benefit the employer provided policy would pay you would most likely be offset by any amount you receive from Social Security.
