As long as you report the income to WC you can earn income as often and in any amount you wish. If you are claiming you are totally disabled due to an injury covered by WC, then you obviously cannot. You are either 100% disabled or you are not.

The best way to determine this is, of course, to ask the comp carrier - but that will tip them off that you are able to do some work if they don't know.

I don't know what your comp carrier does - I am aware that disability carriers sometimes require the claimant to furnish a copy of tax returns to prove there is no outside employment.

Yes, you have to report any and all "work" and income.
