An Act amending the act of June 2, 1915 (P.L.736, No.338), known as the Workers' Compensation Act, in liability and compensation, further providing for schedule of compensation.

HB 183 amends Pennsylvania's Workers' Compensation Act to increase the maximum compensation period for serious permanent disfigurement of the head, neck, or face from 275 weeks to 400 weeks. It specifically updates Section 306(c)(22) to clarify that disfigurement benefits are paid separately from disability benefits, allowing injured workers to receive both simultaneously. The change applies to injuries sustained on or after the bill's effective date (60 days from enactment), regardless of when the original injury occurred. This directly affects workers who sustain qualifying permanent disfigurement in workplace injuries.
