Undocumented workers in Los Angeles and in the state of California have the right to workers\u2019 compensation<\/a> benefits if they are injured while on the job, but not in all cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we explain the laws that protect undocumented workers if they are injured on the job.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is an Undocumented Worker?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Federal law prohibits any employer from hiring a person who is not authorized to work in the U.S. An undocumented worker is someone who does not have a social security number or a work visa, and therefore, is working illegally.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Are Undocumented Workers Eligible for Workers\u2019 Compensation?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Undocumented employees are eligible for workers\u2019 compensation<\/a> in California if they are injured while on the job. However, the law states that the person must return to work if the job can be modified, or if they can do a different job that follows their doctor\u2019s orders. But what if the employer discovers that they are undocumented?<\/span> 2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, if an employer can\u2019t accommodate the injured worker with a different job, then they can continue to receive temporary disability benefits or supplemental job displacement benefits.<\/span>3,4<\/sup><\/span> But if the employer can\u2019t bring the person back to work because of their immigration status (remember, it\u2019s illegal to hire an undocumented worker), then the person is no longer eligible for workers\u2019 compensation benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this one case, U.S. federal immigration law wins out over California\u2019s workers\u2019 compensation law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Workers\u2019 Compensation and Undocumented Workers: California Law vs. Federal Law<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to California law, employees include people who are not citizens or nationals of the U.S. An employee is defined as anyone who is \u201cin the service of an employer under any appointment or contract of hire or apprenticeship\u2026 whether lawfully or unlawfully employed.\u201d<\/span>2<\/sup><\/span> However, federal law stipulates that an employer can\u2019t hire anyone who does not have the legal right to work in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what does this mean? Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about undocumented workers and workers\u2019 compensation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I get workers\u2019 compensation in California if I\u2019m undocumented?<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are injured, you are entitled to receive workers\u2019 compensation benefits, regardless of your current legal status and even if you are unlawfully employed (undocumented).<\/span><\/p>\n

What if I don\u2019t have a valid social security number?<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you file a claim and your employer discovers that you do not have a valid social security number, they must still pay workers\u2019 compensation benefits. This is still true even if you were untruthful in your employment application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there any limits to workers\u2019 compensation benefits if I\u2019m undocumented?<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the state of California, undocumented employees can receive medical treatment and permanent disability. However, temporary workers\u2019 compensation benefits may be limited. If your employer discovers that you cannot legally work in the U.S., they cannot hire you back for modified work that accommodates your temporary disability. Being unable to go back to work due to your legal status may cause you to lose your disability benefits or supplemental job displacement benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What can I do to ensure that I get benefits if I\u2019m injured at work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

You can settle your workers\u2019 compensation claim through either Stipulated Findings and Award or Compromise and Release. The state of California first issues a disability rating, as a percentage, of how disabled you are. If you and your employer agree with the rating, you have two options.<\/span> 5<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Stipulated Findings and Award<\/b> \u2013 Through a written agreement, you request that an award be made without a hearing. This is helpful if you need future medical care. It\u2019s fast and you don\u2019t need to take off from work. You can also apply for additional payments if your medical condition worsens. However, you\u2019ll typically get payments every two weeks rather than a lump sum.<\/span>5<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Compromise and Release<\/b> \u2013 This agreement usually closes a workers\u2019 compensation<\/a> claim permanently, except for vocational rehabilitation benefits, which includes future medical care. This is paid as a lump sum. You may receive more money since you are giving up the right to make a future claim. If your employer disputes the disability rating, this assures you receive payment now. However, this releases them from future responsibility. <\/span>5<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

What if my employer is uninsured?<\/span><\/h3>\n

As an undocumented employee, you can still get benefits through California\u2019s Uninsured Employers Benefits Trust Fund (UEBTF).<\/span>6<\/sup><\/span> This fund will pay you benefits if your employer is unable to.<\/span><\/p>\n

What if I lied about my immigration status in an employment application? What if I used a fake social security number?<\/span><\/h3>\n

You can be fined and prosecuted for using false documents to obtain employment. However, this is a separate legal issue and not related to receiving benefits if you\u2019re injured on the job. Falsely claiming a legal right to work in the U.S. is not considered workers\u2019 compensation fraud. So long as the injury occurred at work, and you haven\u2019t made false statements on your claim, you are still eligible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The California workers\u2019 compensation program does not determine legal status, nor does it deny workers\u2019 compensation benefits to undocumented injured workers. Its mission is to provide treatment and benefits for injured employees and to create a safe work environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are Undocumented Workers Excluded Form Worker\u2019s Compensation in California?<\/span><\/h3>\n

All California workers are entitled to worker\u2019s compensation if they have a work-related injury, whether they are documented or not. California law ensures that employers cannot hire undocumented workers and then refuse to pay workers\u2019 compensation.<\/span><\/p>\n
