Time to discuss the changes that happened to the Nevada Industrial Insurance Act and Nevada Occupational Disease Act as a result of the bills that made it to the Governor's desk during Nevada's 81st Legislative Session.

We'll discuss AB 400, SB 295, and SB 289 with Jason D. Mills, Esq. partner at GGRM Law Firm.

We'll go over the great news in SB 295 which was authored by Senate Majority Leader Cannizzaro and lobbied by the Professional Firefighters of Nevada (PFFN) and GGRM's very own, Jason Mills, which revises provisions relating to industrial insurance that affect first responder's heart/lung/hepatitis Permanent Total Disability (PTD) monthly benefits.  

As of October 1, 2021, any police officer, firefighter, or arson investigator that is receiving Permanent Total Disability (PTD) benefits due to heart disease, lung disease or hepatitis, will be able to engage in non-police, non-fire, non-arson investigating employment and not have to worry about their Permanent Total Disability benefits being reduced or offset. 

For any PTD recipients who were also retired out based on an early Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) medical discharge, it is essential to continue to get clearance with the PERS before engaging in any gainful employment so as not to impact your PERS pension benefits.

Reopening a Workers' Compensation Claim with Jason D. Mills, Esq. After a workers’ compensation claim is closed, Nevada laws place restrictions on lifetime reopening the claim unless the injured worker was off incapacitated from earning full wages for 5 or more days or on permanent partial disability. For all other injured workers, a workers' compensation claim must be reopened within one year after the claim was closed. If medical costs paid before the claim was closed are less than $800, the claim cannot be reopened.

Navigating the Nevada Industrial Insurance Act, or Occupational Disease Act, is no small task. It's not only getting them the medical benefits that they're entitled to, and the indemnity or monetary benefits they're entitled to, but we're also making sure that when that claim is over when it closes when it's done, it's procedurally and factually set up as best as possible for the future.
