Veterans Disabled by War May Not Be Charged for Injuries
A new law aims to boost disabled veterans employment by shielding employers from compensation costs for service related injuries. State and local veterans leaders urge employers to adopt the measure during NEPH week. The Industrial Commission will apportion compensation between service connected and non service related causes from the Workmen's Compensation Fund. Previously, an employer could face higher rates if a veteran suffered a second job related injury.
