The Parity in Workers Compensation Recovery Act of 2025 amends the District of Columbia Workers Compensation Act of 1979 to ensure that receiving compensation from another state's workers compensation law does not prevent an employee or their dependents from filing a claim under the District's workers compensation law for the same injury or death. However, any compensation awarded under the District's law will be reduced by the amount received from the other state's compensation. This change aims to provide equitable recovery options for workers who may be eligible for benefits from multiple jurisdictions.

The bill specifically modifies Section 4(a-1) of the Workers Compensation Act, stating that the new provisions apply to all claims pending as of the effective date of the Parity in Workers Compensation Recovery Emergency Amendment Act of 2022, as well as to any claims filed thereafter. This legislative change is designed to clarify the rights of employees and their dependents regarding compensation claims and ensure they are not unfairly penalized for receiving benefits from other states.
