Does Washington compensate you if you leave work because of a non-work related injury?
My husband is going in for surgery to remove a couple cysts in his knee and to fix a rupture and will be missing about a week of work. Now, even though this condition is a result of the years of strenuous work from his job as a construction painter, (present and past jobs), it's not considered a work related injury. Family members in others states and in Puerto Rico have told me that in some cases, you can recieve some sort of pay or compensation for the time that you are unable to work. I have not found anything online saying that this applies in Washington. Does anyone know anything about this subject?

Nope.

no, there is no such thing, and he can't put iin for unemployment since he is not available to work. If you are under the welfare level in income you can apply for various welfare programs
3 :
If you are injured on the job and your employer is required to carry workers compensation insurance, he might be eligible to receive money from that. If the injury is not job-related and the employee has elected to purchase some form of disability insurance, he might be eligible to file a claim and receive money from that. Otherwise, no, you do not receive compensation for a non-work-related injury.

My mother has worked for the government for years.... and had a similar situation. She basically had to take leave without pay. She earns a particular amount of leave each paycheck and is welcome to take as much paid leave as she wants... but once she depleats her "paid leave" account, it turns to 'leave without pay'. There was really nothing else she could do about it except "eat it", lost pay-wise...

No mam. It is not Washington's job to raise us from cradle to grave. That is why there are companies that sell short term disability insurance. This might be something that you would find in a communist or socialist country.

If democrats and republicans work together for a day in Washington, how much would be accomplished
If democrats and republicans work together for a day in Washington, how much would be accomplished?
For 24hrs straight politicians set aside their differences and selfish interest and work together on key issues plaguing the nation. No arguing, no silly slap fights. Both sides must listen to each others ideas and formulate a reason conclusion. What and how much would be accomplished? Would it be greatly significant?

Now that would be a site to see. I would suspect they could accomplish a lot. In today's world of 24/7 politic game playing I'm afraid that would never happen.
2 :
We would probably just end up spending our way into oblivion in only 24 hours.
3 :
LOL if wishes where horses then beggars would ride.......
4 :
More than would be accomplished in 10 years otherwise.
5 :
We'd all be chained together in two lines: One to drop off our books and One to pick up our soma.
6 :
Until we as Citizens begin pointing our collective fingers at our Congress and Government and saying Shame , Shame on all of you then nothing of merit will ever be accomplished . Its time we hold them accountable for all of their past actions and inaction's .
7 :
about half as much as should be. the republicans would work while the democrast sit around and watched. like the little red hen story....same thing.
8 :
The only "accomplishment" I'm interested in seeing coming out of Washington is a "bipartisan" recognition of the Constitution's limits on power of the Federal government. That would be significant.
9 :
The national debt would increase even more, with little or nothing to show for it.
