Division:?*Insurance Services (Legal Services)*
Topic:?*Proposal (CR-102) ? Reopening Workers? Compensation Claims*
Brief Description:?The purpose of this rulemaking is to implement the requirements of Substitute House Bill 1902 (SHB 1902) which amended RCW 51.28.040, Application for change in compensation. SHB 1902 allowed reopening a worker?s compensation claim up to 120 days prior to receipt of the application when certain criteria are met. The proposed rulemaking is amending WAC 296-20-097 to make the rule consistent with the statute and changes the amount of time L&I or a self-insured employer can pay time-loss and treatment benefits prior to the date the application to reopening the claim is received by L&I or a self-insured employer. L&I and a self-insured employer can consider setting the effective date from 60 days up to 120 days when certain criteria are met. Allowing the date to be set beyond 60 days up to 120 days may result in additional time-loss or medical benefits.
