Question
Can ltd offset soc. sec. benefits for a child born after collecting ltd benefits for over two years prior to the child's birth?
Answer
Employer provided disability policies almost always include language allowing for the offset of a benefit due to dependent SSDI benefits stemming from the insured’s social security claim. I have seen offsets for dependent benefits for dependents born after the SSDI start date. The larger issue, which I cannot speak to, is the fact that this is a situation that stems from at least 1997 and there are applicable Statute of Limitations with which to bring a legal action to contest a disability claim.
