[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1039313, member: 12570"] If a worker [COLOR=#333333][I][B]"voluntarily"[/B][/I][/COLOR] retires from his/her job, that worker's right to compensation benefits may terminate if the worker is not also considered to be “totally disabled.” The insurance carrier may argue that the partially disabled worker who retires voluntarily has removed him/herself from the labor market and is no longer entitled to weekly benefit payments. In such a situation, the Workers' Compensation insurance carrier may be judicially released from liability for Wage Replacement or Reduced Earnings payments (but not medical benefits) perhaps until the worker goes back to work, if ever. In fact, the worker who has been found to have voluntarily removed him/herself from the labor market may never be able to regain eligibility for weekly benefits, depending on the facts of the claim.
