DC claim allowed, offset by other-state pay

You can file a DC workers’ compensation claim even if you already got money from another state for the same injury or death. DC reduces your award by what you received or were awarded in that other state. Your net DC payment equals the DC amount minus the other-state amount, not below $0. The rule applies to claims that were pending on June 28, 2022, and to all claims filed after that date.
