Not legally
Certainly. WC has two components: 100% coverage of med expenses for workplace injury and insurance benefits that pay for lost work time if incapacitated from doing the JOB ON WHICH YOU GOT INJURED.
SO you can earn income while getting med bills paid but no lost time benefit.
You can also earn income while getting lost time benefits, if you have a home business, a second job from which your doctor has not incapacitated you, or even weekend Reserve duty pay. You cannot work a job similar to the one you are paid not to work.

∙ 9y agoWorker's compensation laws vary by state. But in general, your existing compensation claim will remain open even if you get a new job. However, if you filed the claim because you are no longer able to do certain physical actions and then it is proven that you are doing these activities at your new job, this could be used as evidence against your claim.

∙ 13y agoIf you are off work and on workman's compensation, you cannot work another job while collecting money for being unable to work.
You collect WC lost time benefits while a doc certifies you as unable to perform THE JOB ON WHICH YOU GOT INJURED, and no other job. Take a job within your medical restrictions and all is well.

∙ 12y agoYour not supposed to do that but how are they gonna find out? I mean Short Term Disability is about 66 2/3 percent of your salary and the burden of proof is on them. The only way an insurance company can find out is if someone reports you and/or something you do becomes public record otherwise, there isn't much of a way for the insurance company to find out. As far as I am concerned you have to do whatever you can these days to survive. Its a dog eat dog world.
