The Parity in Workers Compensation Recovery Amendment 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 dependent 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 related emergency amendment from 2022, as well as to any claims filed thereafter. The act will take effect following the Mayor's approval and a 30-day congressional review period, as outlined in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
