The Honorable, The Legislature:
We have completed a review of the worker's compensation benefits paid to state employees from fiscal year (FY) 1999-2000 through FY 2003-04. During that five-year period, benefit payments for physical and mental injuries that resulted from accidents or illnesses sustained during the course of employment totaled $59.2 million. The worker's compensation program is managed by the Department of Administration and funded through premiums that are paid by state agencies, based primarily on their claims experience.
