Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Higher adaptation caps for injured workers
For workers with catastrophic injuries, North Dakota’s workers’ compensation agency raises its cap for needed permanent property additions, remodeling, or adaptations from $75,000 to $150,000. The separate cap for the most cost-effective, medically necessary specially equipped vehicle or vehicle adaptations rises from $150,000 to $200,000. Each cap applies over the worker’s lifetime across later claims, and vehicle or adaptation replacements count toward the vehicle cap. The benefits still exclude buying real estate and paying vehicle insurance or maintenance. The law applies to qualifying costs incurred on or after its effective date.
Adaptation help expands beyond catastrophic injuries
North Dakota’s workers’ compensation agency can now approve property and vehicle adaptation benefits for workers without catastrophic injuries. The agency must find the benefits cost-effective and appropriate because of exceptional circumstances. Benefits remain subject to the same conditions and separate lifetime caps: $150,000 for property changes and $200,000 for vehicles or adaptations. The law applies to qualifying costs incurred on or after its effective date.
