If your boss pays you off the books, then in all likelihood, neither he nor you are paying for worker's comp insurance which means that you are not insured and those forms you filled out probably went nowhere.

You could file a complaint with the State Department of Labor but consider the consequences of doing so and also re-consider the 'benefits' of working off the books.

Best of luck!
