Disability Benefits
Disability benefits under workers' compensation law provide financial assistance to employees who are injured or become ill due to their job. These benefits cover a portion of lost wages and medical expenses related to the injury or illness. There are typically two main types: temporary benefits, which support workers while they recover, and permanent benefits, which assist those with lasting disabilities. To qualify, employees must report their injury, comply with medical evaluations, and follow workplace procedures. These benefits aim to help workers regain their health and return to work as soon as possible.
