Re: can i collect child support & workens comp too
If you are receiving support from the other parent you can continue to collect child support. It is common for child support orders to require the parents to notify the other parent of a change in pay. If you are receiving AFDC or other such government payment you need to inform the agency of the change.
The usual result of receiving worker's compensation is that your income is reduced and the amount of support you receive would go up.
