Can I collect WA state Worker's Compensation Time/Loss benefits and WA state Family Medical Leave benefits simultaneously ?

Do you have a permanent total disability or a temporary total disability?

 

[merkcuryvirgo]

Temporary total disability, pending treatment outcome.

 

[quincy]

Temporary total disability, pending treatment outcome.

Then you might not qualify to collect both under the new amendments to Washington’s laws.

Here is a link to the law with amendments as signed in March:
