Default Can One Retire While On Workers Comp
my mom is an nonunion salried worker she has injuries and is now on workmans comp in illinois , she is fearful that she will possibly be terminated and would like to retire to save her benefits.
Can she retire while on wrkmns comp? Or at least put in for retirement? Also can she be fired while off work due work related injury?

Default Re: Can One Retire While On Workers Comp
She can retire if she's eligible. I have no way of knowing if she is eligible.

She can be fired while off work due to a work-related injury. Once her FMLA leave expires, unless she has additional job protections under state law (which is unlikely) her employer has no further duty to hold her job for her.
