Pennsylvania SB1094 amends the Workers' Compensation Act to adjust compensation for serious and permanent disfigurement.

Pennsylvania SB1094 amends the Workers' Compensation Act to change the compensation for serious and permanent disfigurement. The bill sets the compensation at sixty-six and two-thirds percent of wages, up to a maximum of four hundred weeks. This change applies to injuries resulting in permanent disfigurement occurring after the bill's effective date, regardless of when the original injury happened. The bill also clarifies that disfigurement benefits are separate from total or partial disability benefits, allowing claimants to receive both simultaneously.
