Under Line of Duty Injury, pedagogues may apply for important benefits, including paid time off from work to recover and reimbursement of medical expenses.
If you are injured in the line of duty, your health plan covers your medical care. You can receive reimbursement from the DOE for reasonable medical expenses — incurred because of an injury in the line of duty and not covered by insurance — of up to $1,500.
Until the DOE approves your LODI status, absent days come out of your sick bank (CAR). Those days will be restored once you are granted LODI status, and your pay will continue as usual. If you have to miss work to appear in court, the days will not come out of your sick bank — as long as you file the appropriate paperwork.
