Reminder: Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits must be reported to the Workers' Compensation Information System
The Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) reminds claims administrators that submitting the Supplemental Job Displacement (SJDB) payments/vouchers to the Workers' Compensation Information System (WCIS) is a requirement.
Employees who have a permanent partial disability caused by an injury that occurred on or after January 1, 2004 may qualify for the benefit. It comes in the form of a voucher that can be used to pay for educational retraining or skill enhancement, or both, at state-approved schools. Additional information on the SJDB is posted online.
Claims administrators who would like information and assistance in reporting the SJDB can refer to the WCIS Training Bulletin or contact WCIS directly at [email protected].
