Worker's Compensation
- WC News -
The WC Agreed Upon Bill (SB-409) passed both houses of the Wisconsin Legislature by unanimous votes in each house.
On April 2, 2012 Governor Walker signed the Bill. 2011 Wisconsin Act 183 will become effective on April 17, 2012.
There has been an amendment to Wis. Stats. § 102.13 (2) (c). A filing of a final medical report in cases with eye injuries where the employee received treatment on three or more occasions off the employer's premises, even if there is no lost time from work, is now required. As part of its claims monitoring process the Worker's Compensation Division will follow-up with all reported eye injuries as necessary. In cases where there is no lost time it is not necessary for insurance carriers or self-insured employers to report the claim to the Worker's Compensation Division unless the three or more offsite visits threshold is met.
The Worker's Compensation Division administers programs designed to ensure that injured workers receive required benefits from insurers or self-insured employers; encourage rehabilitation and reemployment for injured workers; and promote the reduction of work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths.
