What Types Of Benefits Are There?
As a type of workers' compensation benefits, disability benefits are available for any employment-related medical condition that impairs your ability to work. The exact amount you receive depends on the nature and extent of your medical limitations.
The scope of your medical condition — and its impact on your ability to earn a living — will also factor into the type of disability benefits you receive. In California, these benefits fall under two broad categories.
- Temporary disability benefits are available for injuries or impairments that are not expected to be permanent. These benefits may be either total (if you cannot work at all) or partial (if you can do some work).
- Permanent disability benefits may be an option if you are no longer able to work at your current earning capacity. Generally, these benefits are partial, but they may be total if you are unable to earn a living at all.
