Your decision is non-revocable and will remain in place until you exhaust your paid leave banks, or return to work.
You continue to remain responsible for any insurance premiums (i.e. health, life, LTD) being charged to you while on Workers’ Compensation Leave. Failure to fully pay an applicable insurance premium may result in loss of continued coverage.
You are responsible for any tax consequences that may result from your decision.
