You are covered by the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act if you are injured, fall ill, become disabled or die in the line of duty while serving on state active duty with the Texas National Guard during authorized training or duty. Your survivors can claim under the same Act if you die.
Report the injury, illness or death through your chain of command and file a workers’ compensation claim with the Texas Military Department, following its state active duty workers’ compensation pamphlet.
Your state active duty orders, a line of duty determination, your medical records for the injury or illness, and a death certificate if you are filing as a survivor.
