Workers' Compensation

Permanent Workers’ Compensation is considered to be unearned income.

Temporary Workers’ Compensation (TWC) and Temporary Disability Indemnity (TDI) become unearned income when the EW discovers that:

  • The person receiving TWC/TDI was notified in writing by the employer that they will no longer be able to offer employment to that person or that employment was being terminated, or
  • The person notified the employer that the person does not intend to resume employment with that employer, or
  • There is other evidence indicating that the employer-employee relationship no longer exists, or
  • The TWC/TDI becomes Permanent Workers’ Compensation.

Otherwise, TWC/TDI are considered earned income.

Unavailable Workers’ Compensation

A portion of Workers’ Compensation is considered unavailable when it:

  • Is designated for legal or medical expenses
  • Is not controlled by the applicant, recipient, or person acting on their behalf
