I work two part-time jobs (each 25 hr/wk)& have begun receiving Workers Compensation for an injury I sustained on my 1st job. The benefit is approx 2/3 of my gross $ for this job. The problem is that the injury prohibits me from performing tasks on my 2nd job.(Both involve heavy lifting). Is there any way I can be compensated for loss of income from my 2nd job. HELP- my rent is due and I'm laid up for a while.

My response:

You are entitled to benefits based upon the totality of your income, not merely from the one employer. If you are receiving benefits from a "heavy lifting" job, and still doing "heavy lifting" on the second job, I want you to think about these two concepts: "Sub Rosa" video, and "Insurance Fraud."

You should speak to your attorney as soon as possible about having your benefit adjusted, and about the two items mentioned above.
