Are Heart and Lung Benefits Taxed?

The purpose of the Heart and Lung Act is to provide important public safety personnel with full compensation, including payment of medical expenses, while disabled from an injury that occurs in the performance of one’s duty. Read this blog to find the answer and contact an experienced Harrisburg workers’ compensation lawyer at Calhoon & Associates for advice.

Heart and Lung benefits are not taxable, therefore, state and federal income tax are not withheld.  However, Medicare and FICA taxes are deducted for the first six months of payments.  After six months, Medicare and FICA taxes are no longer deducted from Heart and Lung benefits.
