Black Lung reform eyed to lift benefit approvals
Dennis Thompson Jr reports from Richlands Va that Virginia Black Lung Association backs a Congress bill to reform the Black Lung Benefits program. Spokeswoman Marilyn Haga says the measure is a start, not perfect, and would raise approvals by a few points while protecting long term recipients from large overpayment notices and preserving a fair claims process. The bill includes eligibility presumptions for 1973 to 1980 filings, pre 1990 reviews, and a lawyer contingency fee plan with standardized medical tests. Under current rules, one operator bears responsibility for benefits once a miner is approved.
