The Division of Workers' Compensation issued an informational letter announcing a cost-of-living increase.
The 2.3 percent increase applies to weekly compensation for total incapacity and continuation of benefits for partial incapacity to certain classes of workers. The cost-of-living increase went into effect on May 10. A late payment of the increase may result in a 20 percent penalty on the unpaid amount. Those with questions should contact a workers' compensation education unit representative at (401) 462-8100 or send an e-mail to wcedcunit@dlt.ri.gov.
