only if your surgery is the result of a work related injury. Sorry.
Do i need to file income taxes ,workmens comp did not send me a 1099? I did not file last year 2007 because i asked workmens comp. for a 1099 they did not send ...so i assumed i did not need to file. Can i file both years?
Workers comp is a benefit associated with workplace inuries, not with lack of work. Employers never file for WC, injured employees do.
Claim it and see what happens.
In New York you can not collect both at the same time. If you can prove, which would be hard without physical evidence, that you were fired due to the injury you can sue the employer. But if you are collecting comp you can file a claim for unemployment but I would wait until the comp is up.
Contact the state you live in workmans comp office and file a complaint.
Probably so, provided you file in time, etc.
No
No
No
You can file for SSDI if you are receiving workers' compensation benefits. The Social Security office will probably send a form to the carrier handling your claim requesting information about any wage benefits you are being paid. SSDI benefits may be offset (reduced) by workers' comp wage benefits, but the fact that you are receiving work comp does not prevent you from being able to apply for and receive SSDI.
In California you could choose where the surgery will be performed. It is not up to you though. You can choose to have your surgery in CH8 in Geneva but the carrier will only pay a certain amount and it is then up to the provider to file a lien on your case to recover the remainder of the bill. Many providers will not want to go through this hassle.
If you are talking about the med you get for workers comp pain they do pay the 100% (do not use your ins.)... (doctors visits as well) 100% If you have been injured on the job, Worker's Compensation is responsible for the WHOLE thing. It is not responsible for the 20% copay for your health insurance. It is illegal for you to file a work related claim on your personal insurance. Such claims must be covered by work comp per the Worker's Compensation Act. If your health insurance finds out, they can demand repayment.
