Virginia HB406 establishes a spousal wage replacement program for spouses of disabled law-enforcement officers.
Virginia HB406 creates a program for spousal wage replacement for spouses of law-enforcement officers who are disabled in the line of duty. The Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission will establish an application review process for these claims. Compensation is available for spouses who provide in-home care and reduce their work hours or take unpaid leave. The employer may require documentation of the spouse's income before providing care. Compensation is paid for up to 26 weeks, with possible extensions, and is reduced by any wages or paid leave received by the spouse.
