Retraining Benefits?

 

By Fred J. Lewis

 

Yes there is help! Often when someone is injured in an Idaho work related accident they lose earning capacity where that is due to restrictions, age, or impairment. Retraining services are available when ordered by the Industrial Commission or approved by the insurance company. The Idaho Industrial Commission has their own rehabilitation division where vocational training and assistance can be given. Moreover, the Idaho Department of Vocational Rehabilitation has programs to pay for tuition and books as a part of a retraining program.  There is help out there for injured Idaho workers.
