Does work comp pay me if I’m out of work?

Yes, under certain circumstances. You, at least, need to be on work restrictions per the work comp doctor, IME, or EMA; not at maximum medical improvement (“MMI” – no medical care will make you better); and your employer has not given you a written job-offer for a specific job within those restrictions. There are some other caveats, though.
