The sponsor's argument

Why Jessica Ramos says this is needed

This bill clarifies the legislature's intent to provide carriers a right to credit against a non-schedule permanent partial disability award when they have (1) paid in excess of 130 weeks of temporary partial disabili- ty benefits pursuant to subdivision 5 of section 15 of the workers' compensation law and (2) the injured worker has reached maximum medical improvement. In practice, the Workers' Compensation Board is misinterpreting the intent of statute, permitting carriers to take credit by counting 130 calendar weeks from the date of injury, even if the claimant has not lost time from work for all, or any, of those first 130 weeks. Thus, a claimant who remained working and subsequently loses time from work, is unfairly penalized. The Workers' Compensation Board has also made it difficult for claimants to obtain rulings on the issue of whether they have reached maximum medical improvement prior to 130 weeks from the date of injury, creating a due process concern that this amendment seeks to resolve.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
