Belt Law Social Security
- Q. Do I need to repay workers' comp if I can't return to work due to injury?
- A: No you will not have to pay back the workers' compensation that you have received if you do not return to work with your time of injury employer. I would suggest that you talk to a workers' compensation attorney before making any decisions regarding retirement or taking Social Security retirement benefits since this can have a significant negative affect on your ongoing entitlement to workers' compensation wage loss benefits.
- Q. My boss is withholding my pay and wanted me to come in the office yesterday to sign a release and take a untaxed check
- A: A great deal more information is needed to properly answer this question. If there is a work injury involved, you will want to talk to a workers' compensation attorney before taking any action. If this is a wage dispute, you will need an employment lawyer that focuses on wage issues. Regardless, signing anything without having it reviewed by an attorney is a bad idea.
- Q. I have a compensation case that medical needs to be settled. I am on Social Security and in need of a lawyer.
- A: This is a question and answer forum where we are not supposed to specifically solicit business. That being said, any poster on this site including my office or any other workers' compensation attorney should be able to assist you with this request. Simply call or email one of the attorney's to make an appointment.
