Workers’ Rehabilitation Services (WRS) is dedicated to helping injured workers return to work. The program provides quality Vocational Rehabilitation services. WRS is governed by the Workers’ Compensation Act. Most workers in the State of Connecticut are protected by Workers’ Compensation insurance. In addition to covering the loss of earnings and medical care, the Workers’ Compensation Act provides for Vocational Rehabilitation. The main goal of Workers' Rehabilitation Services is to help the injured worker return to work in a position that is now physically appropriate. Prompt and well-planned vocational rehabilitation may help prevent future injuries.
All clients we serve have a pending or an accepted Workers’ Compensation Claim.
