I got hurt, I had surgery, scar tissue became a problem, had surgery again, seemed to be OK, accepted medical settlement. Adjusted to new life, was promised $8,000 re-education voucher, went back to school.
Well, school's over now, and I owe around $50k in student loans, and that $8k would go a long way against that debt. When I was in school and I first tried to deal with worker's comp paying out, the school told me that they can't/won't/don't accept monies from worker's comp. Never did learn why, and given my major, I did NOT have time to screw around with politics. Worker's comp insists they ONLY pay money to a school, they will NOT pay that re-education money to my student loan servicer.
Now, I understand that they won't pay me directly: they want to make sure that money goes where it's supposed to, and I don't take it and blow it on a wild trip to Mexico, but why won't they pay the loan provider? (I mean, other than the obivious answer: they just don't want to pay)
Does anyone have any advice on how to get my worker's comp company to pay out? Anyone else had this problem?
