Reemployment, Stipulation to Eligibility for Injuries
Alaska Reemployment, or Stipulation to Eligibility for Injuries, are guidelines and requirements set by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (ADL WD) to ensure that injured employees are provided with adequate medical care, wages, and vocational guidance while recovering from their workplace injury. These stipulations are intended to ensure that injured employees are able to return to work as quickly and as safely as possible, while still being protected from further harm. Alaska Reemployment Stipulation to Eligibility for Injuries includes four types of workplace injuries: 1) “serious” injuries, 2) “serious and permanent” injuries, 3) “permanent and total” injuries, and 4) “catastrophic” injuries. Serious injuries refer to injuries that render an employee temporarily or totally disabled for a period of time, and that require medical treatment or hospitalization for at least three consecutive days. Serious and permanent injuries refer to injuries that cause an employee to be permanently and totally disabled, and are either caused by an accident or the result of an occupational disease. Permanent and total injuries refer to injuries that cause an employee to be permanently and totally disabled, and are not necessarily caused by an accident or occupational disease. Catastrophic injuries refer to injuries that result in death, paralysis, or the permanent loss of use of a body part or organ. Under Alaska Reemployment, Stipulation to Eligibility for Injuries, injured employees are entitled to receive medical care, wage-loss benefits, and vocational guidance while they are recovering from their injury. In addition, injured employees may be eligible for additional benefits, such as retraining and rehabilitation, depending on the type and severity of their injury.
