WORKER’S COMPENSATION – Amends existing law to increase maximum allowable burial expenses and to revise provisions regarding transportation expenses.

This Idaho bill (H 67) increases worker's compensation benefits for families of employees who die from work-related injuries. It raises the maximum burial expense allowance from $5,000 to $6,000 and increases transportation cost coverage for moving the body to the employee's residence from $8,000 to $10,000. The changes apply to deaths occurring within four years of the injury and directly affect families receiving death benefits under Idaho's worker's compensation system. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
