On work comp over a year

[mreed171]

Can anyone that has been on work comp for over a year, tell me if you lost your benefits?? ( health insurance, vacations, years of service credit)

 

[Indecisi0n]

You shouldn't.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Vacation time you will lose. Also no pension credits.

 

[Whatusay]

You lose your health care after 52 weeks. Pension contributions are only paid for four weeks.

 

[hellfire]

Thought you get one yr of pension credit in CS

 

[Whatusay]

It might be different Than upstate.

Here you lose your healthcare coverage 1 year after you have been completely off work from your injury. Two years and they stop paying comp. You will also lose vacation time for the next year do to not getting 156 reports.

 

[upschuck]

They should pay your HC as long as you are on WC.

They should but they don't,here anyways.

 

[upschuck]

They should but they don't,here anyways.

And all your other benefits too. You got injured at work.

I agree, but you will get that letter from C.S. about 2 weeks after that year is up saying UPS has not contributed to your benefits,you are entitled to COBRA here's how much it cost's. Believe me I know I have gotten one of those letters.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe call a lawyer.

Don't we get 1 yr one time pension credit in CS?

 

[hellfire]

Agreed,, that's a load of dookey

 

[Johney]

Don't we get 1 yr one time pension credit in CS?

I don't think so. I was out 18 months and I'm missing time.

 

[bottomups]

Depends on your state worker's compensation laws and union local riders.
In Wisconsin we get one year Health & Welfare contributions.
We also get vacation credits, so no weeks vacation are lost.

It might be different Than upstate.

There is nothing quite like Upstate.

 

[Johney]

There is nothing quite like Upstate.

That's for sure.

This is so very stupid. Different answers for different areas of the country.

The place to get your question answered is your local union shop. Call the H&W # on your benefits/insurance card.
