Q. When am I eligible to receive Workers’ Compensation benefits?

A. Regardless of whether you miss any time from work, you are entitled to have your medical expenses paid by the Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier. When your work injury causes you to miss more than one (1) week of work, you are entitled to receive 2/3 of your gross average wages until you are able to return to work. Once you have missed one (1) month of work, you will also be paid for that first week.
