Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Workers keep more third-party settlements

If you are hurt at work and get money from someone other than your employer, you keep more of it. The insurer’s lien is the smaller of: its lien minus half of your reasonable costs, or one-third of your total recovery minus half of those costs. Total recovery includes cash and non-cash like crypto, stock, or property, and any fees and costs. You must give the insurer a verified, itemized list of your reasonable costs. A court can review that list if a petition is filed within 30 days after the insurer gets it.

Limits on cutting future workers' comp checks

After a third-party recovery, the insurer may reduce only future payments that are not accident benefits. Each payment can be cut by no more than one-third. The cuts stop when total reductions equal your net amount recovered. Net amount recovered equals your total recovery minus the insurer’s allowed share and minus attorney’s fees.

New rules apply to open claims

The new lien and offset rules apply to actions with no final judgment, settlement, or other end result by the effective date. They also apply to claims that were open on, or filed on or after, the effective date. If your action had a final judgment before the effective date, the old rules apply.
