Nonduplication of Benefits - State Plan
The Law prohibits the payment of disability benefits:
- For any period during which benefits are paid or are payable under any unemployment compensation or similar law, or under any disability or cash sickness benefit or similar law of this State or of any other State or Federal government.
However, if disability benefits are paid or payable to you under the disability benefit law of another State, or under the Federal maritime law, you may still be eligible for New Jersey benefits. In this circumstance, your weekly benefit rate would be reduced by the amount paid concurrently under the other State or maritime law.
- For any period during which workers' compensation benefits are paid or payable, other than for permanent partial or permanent total disability previously incurred.
- Temporary disability benefits are reduced by the amount paid concurrently under any governmental or private retirement, pension or permanent disability benefit or allowance program to which a worker's most recent employer contributed on his/her behalf. However, please note that Social Security Retirement Benefits do not reduce State Plan temporary disability benefits.
