Backlog of Coal Miners’ Black Lung Claims Tops 1000
Kentucky faces a backlog of more than 1000 coal miners with workers compensation claims for black lung disease as eastern Kentucky loses jobs in a declining coal industry. Officials cite a 2010 court ruling and limited doctor evaluators as causes, with plans to contract clinics to speed reviews. The fund shows rising payouts from 2012 to the current year, while money on hand remains about 16 million.
