The bill amends the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Act by modifying compensation provisions for temporary disability.

  • Section 48-121

    Compensation for temporary disability shall only cease after the employee has been given thirty days' notice. → Compensation for temporary disability shall only cease after the employee has been given thirty days' notice. Upon termination of temporary disability benefits, the employer shall provide copies of all evidence which were relied upon in making the determination to cease benefit payments. If the employer relies upon evidence from outside of the treating physicians, the employee shall be entitled to seek a medical finding by an independent medical examiner to be paid for by the employer. Such independent medical examiner shall be chosen by the employee.

    This change ensures that employees are informed about the evidence used to terminate their benefits and allows them to seek an independent medical opinion at the employer's expense.
