Michigan HB5187 amends worker's compensation laws to set conditions for recouping overpaid benefits.

Michigan HB5187 amends the state's worker's compensation laws by setting specific conditions for employers or carriers to recoup overpaid benefits. The bill stipulates that no recoupment can be ordered for periods more than one year prior to the application filing. It also prohibits recoupment if it would cause undue harm to the injured employee or if it does not serve the purposes of the act. Employers or carriers must establish certain conditions to recoup benefits, such as concealed postinjury earnings or errors in benefit calculation.
