When Reporting OTFN, If Eligible, Be Sure to File for Sickness & Accident Benefits
Members should not delay in filing for Sickness & Accident Benefits (S&A) once they have reported "off 'till further notice" (OTFN). Remember, it's the employee's responsibility to file for S&A and being off without either Workers Comp or S&A benefits is not advisable and a precarious status - to say the least.
