An injured worker reaches maximal medical improvement with permanent restrictions and the pre-injury employer cannot offer modified or alternate work. What benefit is the worker generally entitled to?

Explanation

Under Labor Code §4658.7, a worker with permanent partial disability whose employer cannot offer regular, modified, or alternative work within a set window receives a Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit voucher (currently up to $6,000) that can be used for tuition at California-approved schools, books, tools, certification fees, and other career-retraining costs.
