Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
If works comp pays for school I'm I obligated to get a job. I am partially disabled
1 Answer from Attorneys
99 Percent of all people working are 'Partially Disabled".
Partial disability DOES NOT stop you from working. (I'm working today with a hernia and a deep vein blood clot. And I need a knee replacement. )
IF YOU USE THE JOB DISPLACEMENT VOUCHER for school, THERE IS ZERO REQUIREMENT you get a job when you finish school... Most folks who finish school can't get a job because they lack experience, they have to volunteer for a few months to get experience.
If you are eligible for a Displacement Voucher, it is only because a Comp Physician has written YOU CAN DO SOME WORK SOME WHERE. If he wrote you were 100% permanently disabled, you wouldn't get the voucher.
BUT YOU CAN WORK .... you just can't do everything you did at that old job.
Happy Job Hunting.
