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; and, in Uninsured Employers Guaranty Fund, further providing for claims.

HB 1998 amends Pennsylvania's 1915 Workers' Compensation Act to update the schedule of compensation rates for injured workers and adjust procedures for handling claims through the Uninsured Employers Guaranty Fund. It directly affects Pennsylvania workers who suffer work-related injuries and employers required to carry workers' compensation insurance. Key provisions include revising the compensation amounts based on injury severity and clarifying how the Uninsured Employers Fund processes claims when an employer lacks coverage. The bill focuses on updating the legal framework for payments, not on new benefits or eligibility rules.
