Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Higher caps for injured workers home and vehicles
The law increases help under workers’ comp for catastrophic injuries. You can get up to $150,000 for permanent home additions or adaptations, lifetime. You can get up to $200,000 for a cost‑effective, specially equipped vehicle or vehicle adaptations, lifetime, including replacements within that limit. The organization decides medical need and cost‑effectiveness and can set rules for that. Starting Jan 1 each year after Dec 31, 2025, both caps rise with the Midwest CPI, rounded to the nearest $500 and applied back to Jan 1. These rules apply to qualifying costs on or after the Act’s effective date.
Some help for non-catastrophic injuries
If your injury is not classed as catastrophic, the organization can still fund home or vehicle adaptations in exceptional cases. It must find the help cost‑effective and appropriate. These awards are discretionary and not guaranteed.
No coverage for vehicle insurance or upkeep
When the program provides a specially equipped vehicle or adaptations, it does not pay for the vehicle’s insurance or maintenance. You must cover those ongoing costs or use another payer.
