New law on timely first payment to workers

House Bill 2797 adds a variable to the time frame for when the first payment is due.

Before January 1, first time-loss payment due 14 days after EDOK

The Workers' Compensation Division recently sent a notice to workers' compensation insurers, self-insured employers, service companies, attorneys, employer groups, worker leasing companies, and other interested parties about House Bill 2797, relating to timely first payment of time loss.

If you have questions about a specific claim, please contact the assigned adjuster. For general questions about the new rule, please contact WCD, or Sean Warren or Dwayne Yoder (SAIF claims training supervisors).
