Notify your employer of your medical condition. It is very important that you follow these procedures completely. Failure to complete the necessary paperwork may result in a denial of your claim or cause a delay in processing and payment. You will be encouraged and expected to return to work as quickly and safely as possible following an injury. If you become unemployed, you may be eligible for unemployment compensation, under certain conditions, for a limited period of time.
Unemployment compensation provides temporary income for workers who have lost their jobs.
To be eligible you must have earned a certain amount and be willing and able to work. You should apply for benefits through your local State Unemployment Office as soon as possible. Kenyon College pays the entire cost of this insurance. As a wage earner, you are required by law to contribute a set amount of your wages to the trust fund from which these benefits are paid. In addition, Kenyon matches your contribution dollar for dollar, thereby paying one-half of the cost of your Social Security and Medicare benefits.
