What did you put on the forms when you went for medical care ?

Did you say it was from a work injury ?

If not , I suspect , your answer is yes .

If so , I suspect the answer is , you will have to notify those agencies , as it will be deemed income that may effect your benefits .

When I got to the emergency room by ambulance right from the store I was injured at I told them I was injured at the store & how it happened, filled out form to reflect that & handed them my Medicare & medicaid cards.

I was not injured at work as I was already & am currently disabled & collecting
SSD. This injury has nothing to do with the reason I am disabled
