∙ 13y agoIn California, you have the ability to draw temporary disability for a period of two years. If after that time you are still not considered permantly disabled than you will be placed on state disability. Your payments thereafter, will come from the Employment Development Department (EDD) for your state. If you are considered permanently disabled than your employer will usually offer a settlement and thereafter, you would apply for social security benefits. These types of cases are usually handled by an attorney because they are difficult.

A disability insurance policy can have two main categories of benefits: base benefit and supplemental benefit. Only the supplemental disability benefit can be reduced or offset by any other benefits received (including SS disability, Workers' Comp, or any other employer benefits). The base benefit will not be offset by any other benefits received.
Is it mandatory to receive workman's comp if not wanted?
Your question can be taken 2 ways so I'll give 2 responses: # You don't have to file a claim, but it's recommended because you don't always know the long term effects of an injury or how a subsequent injury can make your condition much worse than it would if it were the first injury. # Any worker can opt out of the Workers' Comp system. By opting out you gain a right to sue your employer but you lose out on immediate benefits. Contact your employer or your state Workers' Comp board to learn how to opt out. Personally, I don't as a rule recommend opting out. Comp has valuable benefits, and especially in this economy, who knows whether your employer would be able to pay if you sue, and it takes a great deal of money to bring a lawsuit.
If terminated from employment can you still be covered by workers compensation?
