Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
Incarcerated persons are eligible for workers' compensation benefits for injuries sustained while performing assigned work while imprisoned. They are not eligible for benefits for injuries resulting from an assault in which the incarcerated person was found to be the aggressor; an intentional act of self-inflicted injury; nor injuries sustained while assigned to academic and Career Technical Education programs. The department is not liable for injuries sustained while a person is on parole or escape status.
(a) Incarcerated persons should immediately report any injury to their supervisor so that prompt medical attention can be given if needed, and for the supervisor's information and initiation of necessary reports.
(b) Incarcerated persons will have access to, and be given a copy upon request, of the department's guidelines covering workers' compensation for incarcerated persons. Such guidelines will be available at each institution's incarcerated person assignment office or the office of the official responsible for incarcerated person assignments; the incarcerated person law libraries; each camp; and at or near the incarcerated person's work location through the incarcerated person's work supervisor.
