Depends- federal workers comp has its own set o federal guidelines than state workers comp. One almost remember that workers comp is a insurance company so the money you receive depends upon many variables - such as your type of injury - you MMI percentage of disability based on the AMA 6 th edition and if you are able to hold gainful employment based on your injury. State comp wants a "one time settlement" where federal comp does a scheduled award. I would recommend before you agree to a settlement from state comp that you either research or hire a attorney. People do not understand that insurance companies low-ball the settlement offers and the settlement money is for The duration of your life span. You can't go back and ask for more under state comp. State comp loves settlements- it gets them off the "long-term" hook Ans the employee gets the shaft because what the employee doesnt understand is that the settlement money is to be uses to cover all future medical expenses to include medicines- test-X-rays And doctors visits and heaven forbid If you require additional surgeries because they are also paid from you settlement. How long do you think that money will last? Most people see $ signs Ans don't look at what they are "settling " for long term.
Again- the amount of money you are entitled to depends upon the type of injury you have And the long term affects of that injury to include limited mobility And future employment
Tax debts have no bearing on your eligibility for workers comp.

Yes, a torn calf can be worth money on a compensation claim, as it may result in medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
