Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system, administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation, to compensate an employee for injuries sustained in the course of the employee's employment. Existing law governs temporary and permanent disability indemnity payments. Existing law, until January 1, 2025, allows an employer to commence a program under which disability indemnity payments are deposited in a prepaid card account for employees.
This bill would extend the authorization to deposit indemnity payments in a prepaid card account until January 1, 2027.
