Yellow | ny comp. ?

I believe it's against the law to ask a job applicant about their worker's comp history in some if not all states.

I'm sure an application will ask about accidents and injuries and any fibs could mean discharge
 
i don't know about getting 550 where your at in ct. but here in maryland the comp pay is 2/3 your average pay over the last 14 weeks before your injury. this is also tax free. it's not to bad if you have a good 14 week average.

Every State is different.
$550 is the max benefit for NY State, However, I thought I heard it raised to $600 July 1st...Not sure as My max is $500 based on my injury date. Unfortunately if the max goes up, they keep you locked at the rate when you were injured. That doesn't seem fair either.
 
If asked about a previous injury on a job application, you have to inform them. If they can prove that you lied on your app, you can be discharged, no matter how long you were employed,(p.s. the union can't help you in these situations because you lied)
 
does everyone know this ?

Of course they would refuse you. Why would you expect to collect unemployment when you got sick? To qualify for unemployment you have to be fit and able to work don't you?
I know that, my whole discussion on this was the difference in pay between on the job/ off the job injury. Disability, comp, and unemployment. Having done all three at one point or another I know the difference having been there and done that (none of them were fun) nobody plans on getting hurt or sick but it’s a good thing to know what to expect.
