Can I receive workers compensation while working under the table?

Asked by a user in Palisades Park, NJ - almost 2 years ago.

In NJ you can collect all your worker's compensation benefits, whether or not you work on the books or off. As long as you/your lawyer can prove employment, then you are legally entitled to medical care, temporary disability payments, and an award for any permanent disability under the statute. It is a fairly common issue. The problem may be in proving your rate of pay which will determine the disability rates.
