Insurance Letter 382

December 19, 1997 INS 382

To: All Worker’s Compensation Carriers & Self-Insured Employers

From: Gregory Krohm, Administrator
Worker’s Compensation Division

Re: Supplemental Benefits Payments under s. 102.44(1), Wis. Stats.

Form for 1997 Payments. Please submit Form WKC-140, entitled, "Supplemental Payments Reimbursement Request," in duplicate, for reimbursement of 1997 supplemental benefits payments under s. 102.44(1), Wis. Stats. Each insurance company or self-insured employer that made supplemental payments should use a separate form. The form is printed on the reverse side of this letter and may be copied if additional pages are needed.

Statutory Changes from 1996. The worker’s compensation law was amended to raise the maximum weekly benefit payable from $125 to $150. Persons receiving less than the maximum rate for dates of injury prior to January 1, 1976 receive the same percent of $150 that their compensation rate bears to the maximum rate in effect at the time of their injury. If you did not make this adjustment in 1996 or 1997, please do so immediately.

Please notify all personnel who handle Wisconsin claims of this process.

If you have any questions, please contact us at (608) 266-1340.
