Linda, I am in the same boat as you; I'm not sure that if I
resign or quit that I will continue to be able to collect my
W.Comp benefits....such as lost wages for time off. They
pay me every week, and if I quit will I still get paid. I
injured my neck and most likley won't ever be able to the
same type of work again. But I can't find any info on the
benefits web site, and no-one else has been in my postion I
guess.
