You may be eligible for benefits paid by the state and federal governments such as: California State Disability Insurance (SDI), unemployment insurance, and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments. You may also be eligible for other benefits offered by employers and unions, such as sick leave, group health insurance, long term disability (LTD) and salary continuation plans. There is also the possibility that you may be entitled to payments by someone other than your employer if your injury was caused by them (such as a third party work injury case). However, if you are unable to perform your usual and customary work; then you are not eligible for unemployment benefits. In order to receive California unemployment benefits, you must be ready, willing and able to perform your regular work. If you are seriously injured and temporarily totally disabled - - then you are not ready, willing and able to work. Generally, you do not want to apply for Social Security Disability until you have finished your workers compensation case or third party work injury case. By waiting, you will usually receive more money. California has some of the  the lowest and most unfair workers compensation benefits in America.  Because of this, you need to have your case reviewed to see if you have a viable  third party work injury case.   A third-party work injury case is civil lawsuit where someone other than your employer is legally responsible for your injuries.
