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.
