Can You Collect a Pension While on Worker's Comp

[mulder]

Although I know I can collect SS while on workers comp Will I be eligible to collect my pension also..I am looking at yet another surgery just before I am ready to retire..

It would of been impossable for me to collect my pension if I had not been accepted to SS... I did get penelized due to age...like early retirement at age 55.

Your pension plan document should contain the answer. As a general rule, pensions are vested benefits and you will not lose any due to work comp benefits. But that is the general rule and it may not apply in your case. You will need to see what it says about work comp, disability, or credits in the pension plan paperwork.

I had surgery for carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve. I was called by my employer one week after my surgery and terminated because THEY HEARD that I was talking about another employee using curse words. I called and obtained an attorney. I completed the paperwork to receive my 401K benefits. Will this affect my workers compensation benefits because I did not receive my WC weekly benefit check this week?

I am 52 years old and was terminated from my job one week after surgery. I took my 401K. Will this affect my worker's compensation weekly benefits?
