HB 1732 - DIGEST

(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 1ST SUB)

Provides that, in cases where a reduction in the federal social security disability benefit entitlement is made retroactively for periods of temporary total or temporary partial disability for which the department also reduced benefit amounts in accordance with this act, changes in the department's calculations, when appropriate, shall be made and additional benefits shall be paid to the worker.

Provides that such additional benefits require a request from the worker and documentation of an overpayment assessment by the social security administration and are paid without interest and without regard to whether the worker's claim with the department is closed.

Applies to all requests for such adjustments which are received, or for which final and binding determinations in response to requests have not been made, by the effective date of this act.
