Can I receive unemployment compensation benefits and workers compensation benefits at the same time?
It is possible to receive both benefits, depending upon the situation. If you are receiving unemployment compensation benefits and seek to obtain worker’s compensation benefits, the unemployment compensation benefits will be credited against any award of worker’s compensation benefits you may receive, unless your award of worker’s compensation benefits is for a specific loss or received in a fatal claim case. [ BACK TO TOP ] What will I do if my worker’s compensation is denied? If your employer denies you compensation, you have three years from the date of your injury to file again. It is your responsibility to file again. And if you do file again, it is best to obtain a lawyer—one who knows the current worker’s compensation laws and one who has experience representing injured workers. Many legal firms have lawyers specializing in this field. A lawyer with a good track record should have no trouble giving you the names and phone numbers of clients he or she represented.
