WorkCompRecap: Investigating Increases!

May 6, 2022 - WorkCompWire

Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features the release of another edition of WCRI’s CompScope Benchmarks, which examined the Illinois system and found that indemnity benefits per claim in the state increased 11% in 2020.

WCRI noted that aspects of the Illinois economy may have contributed to changes in indemnity benefits per claim, as unemployment rates in Illinois were higher than the national average in 2020 & 2021, which meant fewer jobs available for workers with injuries and, as a result, longer duration of temporary disability.
