A second 15-day notice of modification to the supplemental job displacement benefit regulations has been distributed to interested parties and posted to the DWC website. Members of the public are invited to present written comments regarding the proposed modifications to dwcrules@dir.ca.gov until 5 p.m., June 21.

The proposed modifications include:

• The Physician’s Return to Work and Voucher Report (DWC-AD Form 10133.36) is modified to clarify the descriptors for the activity restrictions and to reflect that any job descriptions provided to the physician would discuss physical requirements rather than activity restrictions.
• Section 10117 is modified to delete “employer has knowledge that the” from subdivision (b).
• Section 10133.31 is modified to include the 60 day time frame for making an offer of work.
• Section 10133.34 is modified to include subdivision (b) which discusses the 60 day time frame for making an offer of work.

The notice, text of the regulations, and forms can be found on the proposed regulations page.
