Is Workers Comp paying the benefits? or TX Workforce Commission?

It really wouldnt matter though because both of these agencies would recognize email applications sent out. If your husband had access to a computer they would argue that he could have submitted his resume online as valid job searches.

Are you going to a Benefit Review Hearing?
