2019 Analysis of Workers' Compensation Laws - 9
* Civil Defense and Other Volunteers-Many states have
laws to compensate civil defense and other volunteer
workers, such as firefighters, injured in the line of duty.
Attention is called to these laws, but no attempt is made to
chart their provisions.
* Black Lung Act-The Federal Black Lung Act (Title IV
of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969,
as amended in 1972, 1977, 1978, and 1981) provides
benefits for total disability or death caused by respiratory
illness attributable to coal mining (black lung disease). The
Act is administered by the Division of Coal Mine Workers'
Compensation of the U.S. Department of Labor's Office
of Workers' Compensation Programs and by the Social
Security Administration.
Monthly benefit rates range from $669 to $1,338, in
addition to annual cost-of-living adjustments (as of Jan. 1,
2019).
A Black Lung Disability Trust Fund, financed by an
excise tax on coal production, was set up by the 1978
amendments to pay claims when the last employment was
prior to 1970 or where no responsible coal mine operator
has been identified.
* Social Security Disability-The Federal Social Security
Disability program pays benefits on behalf of disabled
workers younger than age 65 whose disability is expected
to last a minimum of 12 months or to result in death.
A worker becomes eligible after a minimum period of
employment covered by Social Security, measured in
calendar quarters. There is a five-month waiting period.
Cash benefits are payable monthly based on wages in
covered employment, plus allowances for spouse and
children. In January 2019, the average monthly benefit
was $1,171 for disabled workers, which includes a 1.36%
cost-of-living increase based on the Consumer Price Index.
Benefits are paid out of the Disability Trust Fund, financed
from the federal Social Security tax.
On Oct. 25, 1999, the Social Security Administration
revised the medical criteria for determination of disability
according to 64 FR 46122.
Combined Social Security disability and workers' compensation
benefits may not exceed 80% of average current earnings
prior to disability. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1991 requires that Social Security disability benefits
supplement workers' compensation unless state law provided
for a reverse offset on or before Feb. 18, 1981.
