Who Is Entitled to Receive
Workers' Compensation Benefits?
Almost all employees are entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits for a work-related on the job injury. There are exceptions. Casual workers who perform services unrelated to an employer's business or persons employed in a limited function may not be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Also, domestic service workers are generally excluded unless their employers have purchased workers' compensation insurance. Some corporate officers may choose not to receive benefits, and self-employed individuals may not be entitled to benefits. When in doubt, consult an attorney and do not assume that you are not entitled to benefits -- even if the employer or insurance company says so.
Most insurance companies pay benefits every other week, although a few pay wage loss benefits weekly. These benefits are not taxable.
