An Act relative to PTSD and accidental disability
This bill changes the rules for public employees seeking disability benefits related to PTSD or psychological injuries. It removes the time limit for filing claims if the injury is emotional or psychological, allowing employees to use employer records showing they directly responded to a work incident. The employer records must confirm the employee's involvement in the incident, without requiring it to have occurred within two years of the claim. This specifically affects state workers and their beneficiaries filing for benefits under disability programs.
