I’m currently on worker’s comp and my option day and 8 hr option week balance weren’t paid out. I’ve read read that it won’t get paid out until I return to work. Is this true? Southern Supplemt btw.

I don’t know about the southern supplement for sure, but couldn’t you technically still use them before the end of the year? Perhaps they will pay in January.

You're better off waiting. Here any money earned on comp must be reported on an earnings statement and will be deducted from your comp pay.

Optional Day pay is considered a gift and is taxed at a higher rate when issued as a separate check.
When used during a normal workweek , it's taxed as regular pay.

Worker’s Comp. tax free
Yes tax free, but here you have to fill out an earnings report to LM every week and you must show any additional earning you get no matter where it comes from. Vacation,option days,etc they are considered additional earnings. It may not be like that everywhere, but it is here in Florida.

Even holiday pay? I got paid out for Thanksgiving and the Day after.
Look at all the paperwork that was sent to you by LM after you reported your injury and started receiving care, see if you got a weekly earnings report to fill out.
