Section XV-513 - Workmen's Comp

A. An employee who receives Workmen's Comp benefits may still be eligible for state supplemental pay. The Board of Review's policy is to review each case in which an employee is receiving Workmen's Comp benefits to determine the employee's eligibility. The general policy of the board is to continue to pay supplemental pay as long as the employee is retained as a regular full-time employee. Notification must be in the form of a letter stating the employee's name, Social Security number, and the date the employee began receiving Workmen's Comp benefits. For example, Dudley Driver was injured on the job on February 10. On March 7 he received his first Workmen's Comp check. The Comp benefit was declared to be retroactive to the date of injury, so the employee went on Workmen's Comp on February 10. The letter should also state which portion of the employee's salary is paid by the municipality and which portion is paid by Workmen's Comp.
