Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workers in California experiencing injuries at work that result in permanent partial disabilities (PPD) are eligible to receive compensation. The workers' benefits, doctors' and attorneys' fees, and the system that processes the hundreds of thousands of annual claims cost employers billions of dollars each year. This report evaluates the workers' compensation system by examining its efficiency and the adequacy and equity of its benefits, and suggests system reforms. The authors conducted interviews with system participants and found that the system is still troubled by many of the same problems that plagued it before the 1989 and 1993 reforms. It remains overly costly, complex, and litigious while delivering modest benefits. The authors estimated the wage losses of PPD claimants in 1991-93, and found that even after five years, the injured workers earned considerably less than controls. In addition, injured workers experience considerable time out of work, not just immediately after the injury, but also after the initial return to work. The authors identified particular problems among claims categorized by the workers' compensation system as "minor," the vast majority of claims. For this group, wage replacement rates were lowest. Reform proposals include an elective fast track to streamline claims processing, and a revision to the disability rating schedule to improve the relationship between wage loss and benefits paid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California's workers' compensation system requires employers to provide medical care and disability (or indemnity) benefits to workers who experience workplace injuries and illnesses, including occupational cancer. The adequacy of disability benefits for workers with occupational cancer is an issue of considerable public concern. In response to concerns over potential gender bias in disability compensation, the California State Legislature has passed several bills that would have modified the disability rating process for cancer. All of these bills were vetoed by former Governor Jerry Brown. This report was requested in Governor Brown's September 2018 veto message for Assembly Bill 749 and was commissioned by the state Department of Industrial Relations in order to inform the ongoing debate over compensation for industrial cancer in California. In this report, the authors conduct an empirical analysis of earnings losses, disability ratings, and benefit payments for occupational cancer claims in the California workers' compensation system. This report builds on other recent RAND research on earnings losses and postinjury outcomes for workers who experience occupational injuries and illnesses in California, including a study on musculoskeletal disorders among firefighters. The intended audience consists of legislators and other policymakers in California, stakeholders with an interest in the health and safety of public safety workers, and policymakers in other states who are considering how occupational cancers should be compensated in the workers' compensation system.

Book excerpt: California's disability rating system has been criticized as being inconsistent and prone to promote disputes over the appropriate level of permanent disability benefits. This monograph follows an earlier interim briefing on California's permanent disability rating schedule. The authors provide a systematic evaluation of the ratings system that was used prior to the state's 2004 workers' compensation reform efforts. Among other analyses, they examine the extent to which workers with higher disability ratings experience higher earnings losses.
