are you talking about something other then workers compensation?
are you talking about a type of settlement?
maybe it's a special program from your employer or union?
maybe the second injury fund? (http://lwd.dol.state.nj.us/labor/wc/cont...#SIFstaff)

a second injury fund pays benefits when a worker with a prior injury or condition has a second injury and the combined disabilities leave them severely disabled and unable to work.
you can call the information number from the link I posted.

thank you very much for your help.
