Tomorrow will mark 90 days since I met with the Work Comp judge, my attorney and my employers attorney. It was agreed that work comp would start paying me checks, and I have recieved those. Also there was a back pay amount (around 5 months worth) that I was expecting. I think in Hawaii the employer has 90 days to appeal/pay? How much longer could I expect to wait for my back pay? What should I expect to happen now?

Thanks for all replies.

expect to be disappointed and not have either a check or a copy of the appeal.
expect to have to call your atty when you don't hear anything.
expect to be angry with the system.
expect this won't be the last time things are delayed.

Wondering why there would be an appeal to the back pay if they are paying checks now?

Still waiting on back pay from 2009 and they are paying me TTD now. They paid what they owed from 2008 late in 2009

hey that's great, like 1171 says expect nothing until you actually get it ,as of may of 09 to now that's over 15 thousand in back pay they owe me . there sure not going to run out and write me a check.

Also should have added in my state they only have 30 days to decide on an appeal. Trust all of us when we tell you nothing in WC is fast other then them denying you! lol

i don't know enough about the facts of your case to answer.
there could be many issues that would dispute your early period of disability.

Hey guys,

Well, I expected what you listed and I just got a decision letter stating just how much back pay I will be getting (little over $16,000. It states that the insurance company has 20 to appeal.

Would they appeal since they are already sending me comp checks now?

Now...when can I expect this to be paid to me?

Thanks for any opinions.

there could be different issues on retroactive lost time then current lost time so there is no predicting.
