Yes, if you work per diem, you may still be eligible for temporary disability benefits after surgery, depending on your state's laws and your specific situation. Temporary disability benefits typically require that you are unable to work due to a medical condition, regardless of your employment status. It's important to check with your state's disability insurance program and your employer for specific eligibility requirements and documentation needed to apply for benefits.

In California, workers' compensation benefits for a hip replacement typically cover medical expenses related to the surgery, rehabilitation, and any necessary follow-up care. Additionally, if the injury affects the worker's ability to perform their job, they may be entitled to temporary disability benefits during recovery and potentially permanent disability benefits if the injury results in lasting impairment. The exact compensation can vary based on the specifics of the case, including the severity of the injury and the impact on the worker's earning capacity. It’s advisable for injured workers to consult with a workers' compensation attorney to understand their rights and benefits fully.
Short-term disability benefits may be payable under a private insurance policy procured by you or by your employer. The policy will provide a definition of "disability" that has to be met in order to trigger benefits. Depending upon the definition, you may have to be rendered unable to perform the duties of your regular occupation at the time of the disability, or disabled from performing any duties of any occupation for which you are otherwise suited by education and experience. The policy may also prescribe a waiting period before benefits are payable, and will provide a maximum duration for benefits. Therefore, the nature of the surgery and its effects upon you will determine whether short term disability benefits will be payable.
There are two ways that a person can receive Disability benefits: from Social Security and/or from an employer or individual Disability policy. If your employer does not provide Disability insurance coverage and you do not have your own individual Disability coverage, you will not be able to receive disability benefits, unless you live in a state that has a state-sponsored plan. In order to receive benefits from a Disability policy, you must actually own one or have coverage through your employer. Additionally you must satisfy the requirements of the contract in order to receive benefits. Social Security benefits only pay benefits on disabilities that are expected to last longer than 1 year or end in death, so you would not qualify for Social Security benefits.
Whether you can receive disability benefits for being out of work due to shoulder surgery for a year depends on the specific disability program and your individual circumstances. Generally, you must demonstrate that your condition significantly impairs your ability to work and that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the disability program you are applying to, such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in the U.S. It’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider and a disability attorney to understand your options and ensure you meet the necessary requirements.
That would depend if you live in a state that provides disability insurance. The type of disability insurance would also depend on the seriousness of the surgery, i.e. is it short-term, work injury related (workers comp); longer term, permanent (SSDI); private insurance (depends on the insurance policy).
