What Are The Benefits of Workers' Compensation in Texas?
There are four types of workers' compensation benefits:
- Income benefits replace a portion of any wages you lose because of a work-related injury or illness.
- Medical benefits pay for necessary medical care to treat your work-related injury or illness.
- Burial benefits pay for some of the deceased worker's funeral expenses to the person who paid the funeral expenses.
- Death benefits replace a portion of lost family income for eligible family members of workers killed on the job.
Payment of income or death benefits can be made to you or your beneficiary by: check, or electronic funds transfer (EFT).
How Can I Be Eligible For EFT of My Workers' Comp Benefits?
To be eligible for electronic funds transfer, you must be expected to receive
benefits for at least eight (8) weeks.

the request in writing to the insurance carrier and provide:
