California’s workers’ compensation program gives you five benefits: The company pays for your medical care until you recover from your injuries. While you cannot do your job, the company pays you temporary disability benefits for your lost income. If your injuries are permanent, your company provides endless disability benefits.  If you never fully recover from the industrial accident and the company can’t provide you with alternative work, you receive supplemental job displacement benefits. Supplemental job displacement benefits are for educational retraining and skill enhancement classes provided by state-accredited and state-approved schools. If the industrial accident caused your death, your dependents would receive death benefits.
