Concerning workers' compensation benefits.

SB 6067 updates Washington State's workers' compensation benefits for workers with permanent total disability resulting from injuries occurring on or after July 1, 2026. It establishes a new formula where monthly benefits are calculated as a percentage of the worker's wages (excluding health care contributions), ranging from 60% for unmarried workers without children to 75% for unmarried workers with six or more children or married workers with five or more children. The bill also sets minimum benefit levels (15% of average monthly wage plus $10 per child up to five or six children) and maximum caps (120% of average wage), while preserving existing rules for claims before July 2026. These changes directly affect workers and employers in Washington State whose injuries meet the permanent total disability criteria after the effective date.
