Additional Compensation from the Compensation Fund
If an employee is injured, dies or contracts an occupational disease because of the negligence of the employer, or a defect in machinery or equipment, the employee can get extra compensation for temporary or permanent disability. Any employee who is under 26 years old at the time of an injury or disease will get extra compensation. An application for additional (increased) compensation must be made on a form W930 within 24 months of the injury. The Commissioner can extend the period if good reasons exist.
