Under California law, vocational rehabilitation (also known as supplemental job displacement benefits) takes the form of a voucher. This voucher can be used by an injured worker to pay for training associated with learning the skills required to obtain a job in a different field. Our Los Angeles Workers’ Compensation attorneys can help navigate this complicated system to get you the resources you need to be retrained for a different type of job.
There are three requirements that must be met before you are eligible for vocational rehabilitation.
1. You must be permanently disabled
2. You must not be able to return to your job
3. Your employer must not offer you an alternative or modified job.
