A: The short answer is: Yes. Go ahead and form the LLC. Let it sit until you are ready to make use of it. Unless there is something you have not disclosed, I don't see how forming a LLC will affect your benefits. However, once income starts flowing through your LLC, it may or may not affect your benefits. We would have to know more about the benefits to best answer your question.

A: I agree with Mr. Jesky. I would only add that your question has nothing to do with Workers' Compenstion which is an area of law concerning work-related injuries.
