Workers' Comp & Injury Claim Rule Watch

Track workers' compensation rules in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: benefit rate, maximum and minimum weekly benefit, waiting period and cost-of-living changes by state; claim filing, notice and statute of limitations changes; presumption laws for first responders, healthcare workers, heat illness and occupational cancer passed or taking effect; mental injury and PTSD coverage changes; gig, independent contractor and app-based worker coverage rules and court rulings; medical fee schedule, treatment guideline and pharmacy formulary changes; enforcement actions and penalties against insurers and employers with worker remedies; appeal, hearing and portal changes; fraud actions; and federal FECA and Longshore rule changes. Prefer state workers' compensation boards and legislatures, the Department of Labor, court documents and established labor reporting; ignore law-firm marketing and unverified claim stories, and never give individual legal advice. Put the state or rule first in the title with the amount or deadline and the plain-language next step. Use high severity for a benefit rate change, a deadline change, or a presumption law taking effect within 90 days. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
