I just took a section 32 which closed my medical, but you can do a section 32 with open medical, taking a section 32 does affect your ssd, it is all about how your attorney words your settlement.

ss has an 80% earnings threshold.
your settlement has to have wording that pro-rates the total amount over the weeks so the 80% can be correctly calculated.
