NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES RECEIVING WORKERS' COMPENSATION

When you are receiving weekly workers' compensation benefits, YOU MUST REPORT ANY EARNINGS YOU RECEIVE TO THE INSURANCE CARRIER (OR EMPLOYER IF THE EMPLOYER IS SELF-INSURED) THAT IS PAYING YOU THE BENEFITS. "Earnings" include any cash, wages or salary received from self-employment or from any employment other than the employment where you were injured. Earnings also include commissions, bonuses, and the cash value for all payments received in any form other than cash (e.g., a building custodian receiving a rent-free apartment). Commissions, bonuses, etc., earned before your disability do not constitute earnings that must be reported.

You must report any work in any business, even if the business lost money or if profits or income were reinvested or paid to others.

Your endorsement on a benefit check or deposit of the check into an account is your statement that you are entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits. Your signature on a benefit check is a further affirmation that you have made no false claims or statements or concealed any material fact regarding your right to receive workers' compensation benefits.

MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING WORKERS' COMPENSATION BENEFITS

MAY RESULT IN CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
