Your Weekly Payment will be based on your Weekly Earnings as of the date of your initial claim.

VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION SERVICES We have vocational rehabilitation services available to assist you in returning to work to the extent of your ability. We will review your disability claim to determine whether you are eligible for these services. In order to be eligible for vocational rehabilitation services, you must be medically able to participate in a return to work plan. Your participation in a Vocational Rehabilitation Plan is voluntary. If you elect not to participate it will not affect our determination of whether you are Disabled under the Policy. Your claim file will be reviewed by a vocational rehabilitation professional to determine if rehabilitation services might help you return to gainful employment. As your file is reviewed, medical and vocational information will be analyzed to determine an appropriate return to work plan. We will make the final determination of your eligibility for these services. If we determine that vocational rehabilitation services are appropriate, we will provide you with a Written Vocational Rehabilitation Plan developed specifically for you. The Vocational Rehabilitation Plan may include at our sole discretion, but is not limited to, the following services: Coordination with your Employer to assist you to return to work; Evaluation of adaptive equipment or job accommodations to allow you to work; Evaluation of possible workplace modifications which might allow you to return to work in your Regular Occupation or another job or occupation; Vocational evaluation to determine how your Disability may impact your employment options; Job placement services, including resume preparation services and training in job-seeking skills; alternative treatment plans such as recommendations for support groups, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or other treatment designed to enhance your ability to work.
