§7385s–11 Coordination of benefits with respect to State workers compensation

Summary

If a person gets both a federal payment under this program and state workers' compensation for the same covered illness, the federal payment must be reduced by the amount of the state workers' comp they received. Medical bills and job‑training payments are not counted. The reduction is measured after subtracting the reasonable cost of getting those state benefits as set by the Secretary. The Secretary can choose not to apply the reduction in a specific case or group of cases if doing it would create too much administrative work or cost. State workers' compensation agencies must, when asked by the Secretary, send quarterly reports about any covered Department of Energy contractor employee who is eligible under this program, including the employee’s name, Social Security number, and the type and amount of workers' comp benefits.
