COMPENSATION AND DISABILITY INSURANCE - THIRD PARTY RECOVERIES - 8537

(Revised: 09/2020)

Pursuant to Labor Code sections 3850-3865, the state may recover compensation benefits and other damages from a third party liable for the injury or death of a state employee. Amounts recovered by way of subrogation are the result of actions taken by the State Compensation Insurance Fund (State Fund).

 

The State Fund shall notify an agency/department in writing when a subrogation case has been settled. Any amounts owing to the employing agency/department will be credited to the proper appropriation as an abatement.  The restoration of leave credits to an employee’s records from third party recovery will be at the direction of the State Fund.

 

For any questions, contact the Department of General Services, Office of Risk and Insurance Management, or the State Fund office which handled the claim.
