You can apply for State Disability benefit as long as a doctor find you temporary deisabled. Most insurance company doctors will not certify you for disabilityt. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
Look for a new job. Your time off work means you don't qualify for unemployment, and your release to work means you don't qualify for State Disability payments after the release.
