In Florida, you generally cannot collect both short-term disability benefits and workers' compensation benefits at the same time for the same injury. If your workers' compensation doctor has cleared you for light duty, you may need to return to work in that capacity to continue receiving benefits. However, if you are unable to work at all, you may need to explore your options for short-term disability separately, depending on your specific situation and policy. It's advisable to consult with a legal or HR professional for guidance tailored to your circumstances.
