Is your agency or organization doing enough to protect sensitive worker data? The IAIABC would like help to address this issue, particularly in the wake of recent illegal data thefts in Utah. Visit the Data Security and Privacy webpage to learn more.

The IAIABC is calling for nominations for its 2012-2013 Executive Committee, the governing board of the Association. Executive Committee members must be an administrator or senior manager at a member workers' compensation agency. Please submit interest to Jennifer Wolf Horejsh, IAIABC Executive Director, and it will be forwarded to the Nominations Committee Chair.

The IAIABC has published a white paper on self-insured groups for workers' compensation, with substantial information on risks and benefits of groups, and best practices for regulatory administration of groups.  

Two U.S. federal court cases with implications for state workers' compensation systems were discussed at length at the IAIABC The Forum last week and are being watched closely by agency leaders.

The proposed rule by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services is now on the Federal Register and open for public comment until May 17, 2012. Download the proposed rule and instructions for comment!
