Relates to disability benefits for pregnancy loss
Bill A 8393 amends the workers' compensation law to explicitly include "pregnancy loss" within the definition of a disability related to pregnancy. This change means that employees experiencing pregnancy loss would be eligible for disability benefits. The bill also establishes a specific calculation for these benefits, setting them at sixty-seven percent of the employee's average weekly wage, capped at sixty-seven percent of the state average weekly wage. This differs from the general benefit calculation for other disabilities.
