If you are hurt, become ill or disabled, or die in the line of duty while serving on state active duty with the New Jersey National Guard, you or your survivors are covered by New Jersey workers compensation law.
Report the injury or death through your chain of command and file a workers compensation claim. A New Jersey Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Service Officer can help you or your survivors with the paperwork.
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.
