Supplemental Job Displacement Vouchers

Employees injured on or after Jan. 1, 2004, who are permanently unable to do their usual job, and whose employer does not offer other work, may qualify for the supplemental job displacement benefits (SJDB). SJDB comes in the form of a non-transferable voucher that can be used to pay for educational retraining or skill enhancement, or both, at state-approved or state-accredited schools. P. Steve Ramirez Vocational Training Centers is a state-accredited school!

Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits Voucher. Employees injured on or after Jan. 1, 2013, who are permanently unable to do their usual job, and whose employer does not offer other work, qualify for the SJDB voucher. The voucher amount is $6,000 for all permanent disability ratings. Employees are eligible to their voucher after being declared P & S, they no longer have to wait until the date of their settlement.
