Temporary Total Disability benefits are stopped?


Applying for Unemployment after you get cut off from Longshore Act temporary total disability benefits or permanent disability benefits can subject you to criminal penalty. Seriously.


This article is by a Longshore Act Lawyer in California and focuses on California law. This article applies to Longshoreman and Harbor Workers that are injured in California. However, most States have almost the same laws as California regarding workers compensation and unemployment.


If you are unable to perform your usual and customary work, then you must not file for California Unemployment benefits. Stated differently, if you are temporarily totally disabled or permanently disabled from returning to your customary work or usual work as a Longshoreman or Harbor Worker - - then you must not file for California Unemployment benefits. It is our understanding that most States have similar laws - so be sure to check the law at your State also.


You have to Swear Under Penalty of Perjury*


Under California law you have to state under penalty of perjury that you are ready, willing and able to work in order to qualify for California Unemployment benefits. If you are disabled and unable to perform your usual work, then you have most likely committed perjury. At least that is how you should expect the District Attorney in your County to interpret the law. You don't need or want to go there.


File for State Disability

Instead, you need to file for California State Disability Insurance benefits. This isn't welfare. The State of California takes money out of your check every week. You paid into the system. You should use the money you paid in when you are entitled to the benefits. You will need to have a doctor sign for you stating you are unable to perform your usual work.


Disclaimer

This article is not legal advice. This article is simplistic in order to achieve clarity. Your workers compensation case, situation, and/or circumstances may be different than those described herein. If you are bringing a workers compensation claim, your credibility is always at issue. Meaning, if you get caught in a lie you will lose your case. Always tell the truth. Be sure and hire an honest California Workers Compensation Lawyer.


Advocate for You Against the Longshore Insurance Company

The way the Longshore Act system is set up is the company doctor will disagree with your doctor over needed medical treatment and disability. This is when you need a seasoned lawyer taking on the insurance company.
