An Act providing benefits for permanent functional loss and disfigurement under the Worker's Compensation Act

Maddy summaryThis bill updates Massachusetts' workers' compensation benefits for permanent disfigurement and functional loss. It replaces a fixed $15,000 cap with a benefit amount equal to 30 times the current average weekly wage in the state, which adjusts annually. It also removes the previous restriction that scar-based disfigurement only qualified for benefits if on the face, neck, or hands. These changes directly affect workers who suffer qualifying permanent injuries covered under the state's workers' compensation system.
