Which of the following people is eligible for temporary partial rehabilitation benefits?

  1. Jake loses a hand to a panel saw at his cabinetry factory, and when he returns to work, can only manage to sweep the factory floor, which pays half his previous wage.

  2. Rosie, who decides to change careers and with her new job, earns more than her previous wage.

  3. Tom, who sustains a minor injury but returns to his job with no restrictions.

  4. Kevin, who is fired from his job and decides to remain unemployed.

The correct answer is: Jake loses a hand to a panel saw at his cabinetry factory, and when he returns to work, can only manage to sweep the factory floor, which pays half his previous wage.

Jake is eligible for temporary partial rehabilitation benefits because he has suffered a work-related injury that has resulted in him being unable to perform his previous job duties. As a result, he is only able to do a lower-paying task and is receiving half his previous wage. This makes him eligible for temporary partial rehabilitation benefits. Option B is incorrect because Rosie's decision to change careers was not due to a work-related injury. As such, she is not eligible for temporary partial rehabilitation benefits. Option C is incorrect because although Tom has sustained a minor injury, he is still able to perform his job duties with no restrictions. As such, he does not meet the criteria for temporary partial rehabilitation benefits. Option D is incorrect because Kevin was not fired due to a work-related injury. As a result, he is not eligible for temporary partial rehabilitation benefits.
