Q. My sister has been on leave without pay with the Postal Service for over three years and is receiving payments from the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs due to a work-related injury incurred some years back. Recently, she received a bill for her life insurance for $400 a month. It has been our understanding that she would pay her portion for health insurance only, and that life insurance is covered under workers’ comp. Please advise.
