Medical Care
This should be paid by your employer to help you recuperate from work-related injury or illness. Medical care includes doctor visits and other treatment services, diagnostic examination, medication, medical equipment, and travel costs reasonably necessary to your injury.
Temporary Disability Benefits
This is the payment if you lose wages because your injury prevents you from doing your usual job duties while recovering. The minimum temporary disability weekly rate is $160, but it can increase depending on your situation.
Permanent Disability Benefits
This is the payment if you don’t completely recover and your injury causes a permanent loss of physical or mental function that a physician can measure. The current weekly rate of payment is $1,059.38.
Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit
This is a voucher to help pay for retraining or skill enhancement if you are eligible to receive permanent disability benefits, your employer does not offer you work, and you do not return to work for your employer. This benefit is available for workers injured in 2004 or later.
Death Benefits
This is payment to your spouse, children, or other beneficiaries if you die from a job injury or illness. Burial expenses up to $10,000 are also covered.
What happens if my employer does not have workers’ compensation coverage?
