That's about the limit. They don't want you making more $$$ injured than working. Also, disability payments generally are not taxable.
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.
That will depend on the extent of the injuries. On discharge, the Marine will be evaluated. They will receive a percentage of their pay, based on the percentage of disability as pay on a monthly basis. There is also disability insurance associated with active duty service.
The amount of income you could receive in addition to Social Security benefits will depend on the type of benefit your Disability insurance coverage provides. Some benefits will offset with all Social Security benefits you qualify for, which essentially means the additional income you receive will be equal to the difference of your monthly benefit and your Social Security benefits.$5,000 Disability insurance benefit (off-settable)$1,000 Social Security benefitYou will receive a net $4,000 of additional income and a total of $5,000.There is also a benefit called "base" benefit, which does not offset with Social Security benefits. In this scenario the additional income you will receive is equal to your entire Disability insurance benefit.$5,000 Disability insurance benefit (not off-settable)$1,000 Social Security benefitYou will receive a net $5,000 of additional income and a total of $6,000.

Determining if the benefits are taxable depend supon whether the premiums were paid before or after taxes. If before taxes, the disability income you receive is taxable. If youpremiums were paid after taxation, the disability income benefits you receive are not taxable.
The answer to your question is yes. If creditors can garnish your wages if you were working, then they can garnish the income you receive from your disability provider as well. The same procedures they would have to go through to garnish your wages from your employer, they would go through the disability company (filing court documents). Unfortunately, creditors consider any income you receive, working or not, as income.
Because that is the way that you contribute to your social security and medicare insurance coverage and disability insurance that you may receive at a future date.
If you had a disability insurance policy prior to getting hurt, yes, you will receive benefits if you are still unable to work after the waiting period has passed. If you didn't have a disability insurance policy, you may be eligible for social security disability if your disability is expected to last 12 months or longer.

You can visit your local Social Security office or check out their website. To improve on the above-mentioned statement, yes, you can calculate or estimate the amount of the disability benefits you'll receive.

The Social Security Statement that you receive each year displays your lifetime earnings and provides an estimate of your disability benefit.
