The Workers' Compensation Commission proposes to amend
Regulation .07 under COMAR 14.09.01 Procedural Regulations.
This action was considered at a public meeting held on June
14, 2012, notice of which was given by publication in 39:9
Md.R. 636 (May 4, 2012) pursuant to State Government
Article, 10-506(c), Annotated Code of Maryland. The
purpose of this action is to establish a clear procedure and
timeline for determining the average weekly wage.
Specifically, that the average weekly wage be adjudicated at
the first
hearing
before the Commission, and that if the Commission finds that
an inaccurate weekly wage resulted in an overpayment or
under payment of benefits the Commission may order a credit
against future permanent disability benefits, the payment of
additional compensation or any other relief the Commission
determines is appropriate. See the
Regulatory Changes page for more information. |
