I think that SSDI benefits don't change. But because your husband is medicare elgible, federal law states that an MSA (Medicare set-aside allocation) is required for wokers comp settlements, so that there is no double dipping in future medical.
Good luck

he needs to discuss this in detail with his attorney & workman's comp case worker before deciding. SSDI questions need to be answered by his SSA case worker. have him make a list of questions & concerns so he doesn't forget.
