Kansas Governor Laura Kelly recently signed senate bill 430 into law, which took effect July 1, 2024. The new bill impacts multiple aspects of workers’ compensation claims in Kansas and requires employers to post an updated Rights and Responsibilities poster.
Significant cost-of-living adjustments are intended to keep employer’s cost down while ensuring injured workers receive the required care.
- Maximum death benefit amount: increased from $300,000 to $500,000
- Maximum permanent total disability benefit amount: increased from $150,000 to $400,000
- Maximum permanent partial impairment benefit amounts: increased from $75,000 to $100,000
Injured workers now have 30 days, rather than 20, to report an accident to their employer.
