FAQ
In Arizona, workers' comp covers all medical expenses to heal the work-related injury or illness. It can also provide some of the missed wages when injured workers need time off to recover. Coverage requirements in Arizona say you must provide workers' comp for full-time and part-time workers.
Small business owners, or policyholders, who wonder “should I file a workers' comp claim?” can rely on a simple rule of thumb: any worker injury that requires medical help beyond self-treating first-aid is an injury that should be filed.
Once your employer receives notification of your injury, your employer must file an Employer's Report of Injury with the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) within 10 days.
Injured employees must file a claim using one of the Arizona workers' compensation forms. The claim must be filed with the ICA within 12 months of the date of the injury. Filing a claim involves completing the Worker's Report of Injury Form (0407) or the Worker's and Physician's Report of Injury Form (0102).
In general, ERISA does not cover plans established or maintained by governmental entities, churches for their employees, or plans which are maintained solely to comply with applicable workers compensation, unemployment or disability laws.
Tax laws regarding disability settlements are no exception. Generally, if the long-term disability (LTD) policy was provided by the employer as a fringe benefit, the payments you receive—or the lump-sum settlement in an ERISA lawsuit—would be taxed as income.
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established retirement and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans.
Most ERISA litigation is filed by an employee or former employee against their employer or insurance company. A significant portion of this ERISA litigation involves disputes over disability benefits. Generally, employees have been denied short-term or long-term disability benefits by their insurance company.
An ERISA lawsuit offers individuals the opportunity to recover various types of damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pension benefits.
