I have a long-term disability/pension or other benefits. Can I collect those benefits while on time-loss/pension?
Entitlement to employer/union sponsored benefits are dependent on the plan itself. Some plans have exceptions to work-related injuries. Before applying for employer/union sponsored benefits, an injured worker should consult with an attorney. Depending on the language and the exact plan, applying for those benefits early could potentially be construed as a voluntary retirement and could jeopardize entitlement to workers’ compensation benefits.
