Return to work and still collect maintenance and cure? You bet--read why here.
Did you know you can actually get maintenance and cure benefits even if you've returned to work? The test under Maintenance and Cure Law is not whether or not you're able to do any type of work at all.
The test under Maintenance and Cure Law is, are you still getting medical treatment that could result in a betterment of your condition or have you not yet reached maximum improvement, maximum cure in regard to your injury? Even if you go back to light-duty, temporary-type work to make some money, that does not necessarily mean that your company has to stop paying you maintenance and cure.
Call us if you have any questions. You may still be entitled to maintenance and cure even if you've returned to some type of work.
