no, not legally so make sure you do every thing by the book in your new dept. and keep records (dates and times)of any thing you find suspicious regarding your employers behavior towards you. he/she might be setting you up for a fall to fire you in a legal manner. and remember the dept of labor is there for this reason

You can not be fired for being on workmans comp but you can be fired for not doing your job tasks according to company guidelines within your light duty limits. For instance if you continually come in late to work or are absent you can be fired as this has nothing to do with the workmans comp.

What if your employer will not give you the info on filing or the insurance name?

Every state has an entity that oversees workers' compensation-- it's usually referred to as the workers' compensation commission or industrial commission or is part of the state's labor board. These agencies usually have websites with contact information, and you can contact the agency to find out who your employer's workers' comp carrier is. Some of the states even let you search for that coverage information on line. You should also check the site for filing your own claim with the state-- if your employer won't report your claim, you can usually do it yourself through the state. They will then contact the correct carrier, which will then have to set up your claim and will contact you and your employer to find out what is going on.
