By order of my doctors but the last authorization had a future return to work date that I had to adhere to for general assistance cash aid. The safety hazard still not corrected and they terminated me and then denied claims due to no medical record of injury. I was hit three separate times by falling object that fell twenty feet. Each time hitting me in head. What if you were injured at work and terminated after reporting injury.
Told by supervisor that you refused medical treatment. Then Unemployment says you have zero award balance and exhausted all benefits but because you were on a two year continuous order from your primary doctor to do no work of any kind then after two years he gave a return to work by date so you excepted a job. But then you were hit in the head by falling object at work and have preexisting disability that made you high risk of contracting virus if exposed to. August 29, at am. I was injured in a way that prohibits me from returning to one of my jobs and im on time loss for but physical i can do my other 2 jobs which i need to keep afloat yet with covid i cant return to the other 2 jobs.

That is why i have doc not to do any of my other jobs or look for more any help would be great. August 31, at pm. Hi Trisha. The answer to your question is too long to type. September 5, at pm. I fear I might have to file a workers compensation claim due to progressive Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Will this affect my unemployment claim?
I live in Washington State. Hi Aaron. The short answer is — Maybe. If you file a claim, and if your claim is accepted, and if it is determined that you are incapable for working regardless of COVID because of your claim related conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome , then you may be entitled to receive time-loss compensation benefits.
If you receive time-loss compensation benefits, you cannot simultaneously collect unemployment benefits. I hope this helps. September 6, at am. I started out on unemployment until i had surgery then i start receiving my worker comp. Obviously stop collecting unemployment but how do i go about without them knowing or will they know? September 8, at pm. It is generally true that you cannot collect unemployment even partial if you are also collecting time loss compensation.
June 30, at am. September 7, at pm. Got shoulder surgery July 27 due to an injury at work. Surgery was postponed due to Covid.
Probably not. Generally you cannot collect both unemployment and time loss compensation at the same time. Since time loss compensation is only paid as a percentage of what you were making at the time of injury, it is definitely a financial burden.
Hopefully you will be entitled to some permanent partial disability or PPD when your claim closes, that will help you catch up financially. September 10, at am. I am receiving LEP payments from a previous job due to a work injury. I currently work for WA state — different line of work, less money, hence the loss of earning power compensation. Due to Covid 19 and budget shortfalls with my current job, I was forced to take one unpaid day off per week during the month of July and now have to take one unpaid day off per month through the end of the year.
We were instructed to file for unemployment under shared work rules which I did. Anyway, I am being paid loss of earning power checks from a private insurance company from previous employer. I have not refused any work from my current employer and I am physically able to do the job I currently have — just not the job I used to have. That makes no sense to me. One has nothing to do with the other. What are the rules regarding a situation like mine? Thank you. September 23, at am. I had an accident at the end of July in my left arm.
I went to the doctor and he sent me to physical therapy for a month of which I already did. The doctor says I can do light work maximum 10 pounds. I wanted to know if I could receive unemployment. September 25, at pm. September 23, at pm. September 26, at am.
So my husband in July got told can only do light duty until surgery on his shoulder. Company has tried but no LD due to Covid lack of jobs construction. Mean while Dr. Started a occupational disease claim.
We heard nothing from anyone. We finally got a hold of LnI asked them what should we be doing?. For yes no income we will lose everything. They replied with keep claiming unemployment. Okay ….??? Hear nothing. So out of the blue Dr. So last week when we found this out. Called LnI in a panic asking what do we do now???. For once he has surgery no can not work at all. Feel not legal to keep claiming. All they said is okay stop claiming unemployment.
Ahhhh asked ummm why send check we been claiming unemployment. Are we gonna get hit to pay all that back..? Including weeks with the extra Feel we just put ourselves not knowing n was told to do this in bigger debt. Dam screwcovid. Still have not received anything in mail that we were told over the phone by lni.. Thank god we called.
So as of now not obviously going to claim anything through unemployment. Cant get a hold of unemployment. But scared to use any of money on bills.
Neither one of us has been on lni nor unemployment until recently…no idea what to be doing next. Cause it will automatically deny you on system. October 14, at pm. As stated on the EDD site. October 15, at pm. To be honest, whether it would be appropriate for you to collect unemployment benefits under these circumstances is highly fact specific.
I would recommend seeking advice from an attorney experienced in unemployment benefits. Any More Questions? Zip Code. Though unemployment and worker's comp are federally mandated programs, states set the rules for implementing the programs. Unemployment benefits are designed to help support you while you look for a new job. All states require you to look for work, or, in some cases, to be enrolled in a job training program, to collect benefits.
Worker's compensation usually pays you because you're unable to work due to an on-the-job injury. If you can't work, you can't apply for work or attend job training, so you fail to meet the requirements to collect unemployment benefits. It is complicated, to say the least. When you receive unemployment benefits, you are receiving financial support while you seek a new job but cannot yet find one.
In this context, your ability to work after a workplace accident becomes critical.
