- Medical benefits, which cover the cost of all reasonable and necessary medical treatment for a work injury or occupational illness
- Temporary disability benefits that provide partial wage replacement when a worker suffers a reduction in their income due to their work-related injury or illness
- Permanent partial disability benefits, which provide financial payments based on the affected body part or parts and the severity of the worker’s disability
- Permanent total disability benefits, which continue partial wage replacement indefinitely so long as a worker remains unable to do any kind of work

What Is Involved in the Process of Pursuing a Workers’ Comp Claim?
Filing a workers’ compensation claim in Mount Holly begins with a worker notifying their employer of a work injury or occupational illness that they have suffered. A worker can give notice orally or, preferably, in writing; an employer or its workers’ compensation insurer may have forms that a worker can use to provide notification of a workers’ comp claim. Notice may be given to a supervisor or manager or any person in a position of authority with the employer. Workers are required to give prompt notice of their claim, usually within 14 days after suffering a work injury. However, notice must be given no later than 90 days after being injured on the job, otherwise, a worker may jeopardize their eligibility for workers’ comp benefits.
When an employer receives notice of an employee’s injury, the employer is required to file a first report of injury with the state Division of Workers’ Compensation. If a worker’s employer does not file with the Division, or if the employer or its insurer denies a workers’ comp claim or terminates benefits, the worker must file a written claim petition with the Division. A claim petition allows a worker to pursue an informal claim hearing with a workers’ compensation judge to try to reach a mutually acceptable outcome to the workers’ comp claim. Or a worker may choose to participate in a formal claim hearing and obtain a binding ruling from the compensation judge. A claim petition also allows an injured worker to obtain financial compensation for their permanent injury or disability.

About Mount Holly, NJ
Mount Holly is a township located in Burlington County, New Jersey, and is the county seat. Originally formed as Northampton in 1688, the community was renamed to the current name of Mount Holly following a referendum in 1931 in recognition of the holly trees that covered the hills in the township. Mount Holly grew in the mid-19th century following the establishment of railroad lines running to Philadelphia. However, the mills and factories that sprung up following the introduction of railroads closed in the late 1950s, followed by downsizing at nearby Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base in the 1970s and 1980s. But today, Mount Holly has redeveloped as a suburb and bedroom community for nearby Philadelphia.
The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development reports that in 2020 the state experienced approximately 92,400 non-fatal cases of work-related injuries and illnesses among workers in New Jersey.
