You can apply for temporary disability as long as you let them know the reason for your being out of work is due to an injury that may be deemed as a work comp. Injury. You have to tell them up front or you may have to pay back any money you receive from them. You should check with S.D.I. And ask them about what happens if you are accepted for benefits then the claim gets accepted by w.c. I don’t think you can apply for s.d.i. If the injury was due to a work situation and is in the realm of w.c. Check the web site for s.d.i. And give them a call before you do something wrong. They will pursue you for repayment of wages if you are not supposed to collect. Up to and including a garnishment.

If the claim is accepted by w.c. As a claim and they will pay you benefits it will be paid in weekly or bi-weekly checks. The claim will continue until they either deem you are able to return to work, or can not return to work. If you are not able to do the job you were doing before because the injury was so severe then you may be given training for another career, paid for by your w.c. Carrier. Not a college degree, but vocational training. If the injury was so severe that you are physically unable to do any kind of work at all then the case is turned over to social security disability. You will have to file a claim with them, along with doctor’s reports to support the claim that you are not able to do work of any kind.
