I met with Larry on August 6 regarding his potential Workers Compensation Claim. Larry is a member of Carpenters Local 94 and has worked at the housing authority at Parenti Villa since 1998. His indirect supervisor is Teamsters member Frank Manfredi. Larry reports that on July 16, 2015 he was locking down an elevator on the 15 floor. When he went down to the fourth (4th) floor he observed lots of smoke.

In addition, OWCP made a decision to limit access to copies of correspondence sent to a claimant. The USPS and OWCP recently reached a compromise and the data suspension was lifted; however OWCP’s decision to terminate the agreement to jointly pursue third party cases remains in effect. The USPS programmers are currently working to update systems with the backlog of two years data. The suspension limits the ability of the agency to present current statistical data.

The model explicitly estimates the future payments for the most recent 15 injury years and relies on external independent actuaries for estimates of the older injury years and the development beyond 15 years. The USPS accrues a liability to reflect the present value of estimated future claim payments and records the costs as an operating expense. For the quarter ending March 31, 2015, USPS Workers’ liability is as follows: Compensation claims liability - $12.5 billion Medical liability $6 billion, for a future liability projection of $19.x

The federal government recognizes the need for uniform compensation, as demonstrated by its passing

After becoming ill or sustaining an injury related to your employment, you must report it to your employer immediately.

This is a Workers’ Compensation matter where there is a question about whether the employee was covered by the Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act or whether we can pursue it under state law. If this is a longshore case we will refer it out so I would like to know if there is state court jurisdiction.
