You most assuredly cannot work another job "legally' while collecting WCI benefits. If the person is found to be doing such a thing, they charged for criminal fraud. Needless to say they will lose all benefits and be required to repay a portion if not all of the income received from the WCI claim.

∙ 13y agoA person gets workman's comp because they are unable to work. If they get a job, investigators will get them for fraud. They will get in trouble. It's against the law to draw benefits and have a job.
A person gets WC lost time benefits because a doctor certifies him as unable to to THE JOB ON WHICH HE GOT INJURED, and no other job. Take a job within your med restrictions and all is well.

∙ 10y agoIn general, yes but there are different requirements for different states. It also depends on your percentage of dissability. If you are 100% disabled (TTD or TPD) then you should not be working for anyone. You should notify the employer for which you filed the claim or your work comp adjuster before you do, otherwise you could face significant penalties up to and including restitution. If you have a work comp attorney, obviously you should consult with him or her first.

If injured on 2nd job and can still work the 1st job will you be able to collect workman comp pay?
In this state you can not generally collect workman's comp pay if you are injured on a second job and still are able to work on your first job if that is your main job. Your second job would be responsible for all medical bills for the injury on your second job. That would be it. To get workers comp, you must swear that you are unable to work. If you are working, you would be telling a lie under oath. Martha Stewart went to prison for less.
