Heading: Moses' Subsequent Claim

Text: The undisputed record reflects that Moses qualified for workmen's compensation on two separate occasions. The first occasion consisted of a four-week period of disability that began soon after his initial injury. The second occasion was a longer period of disability which began approximately six weeks after Moses had returned to work, and which arose from surgery related to the initial injury. The plain language of Section 5933(a) provides for salary supplementation benefits to be paid whenever an eligible State employee qualifies for workmen's compensation benefits. Therefore, Section 5933 required the School District to pay salary supplementation benefits to Moses for a period of up to three months on each occasion that he qualified for workmen's compensation. Consequently, it was improper for the School District to terminate Moses' salary supplementation benefits on January 27, 1990.
