If the DWC file contains a Stipulation of Compromise Settlement, it will reflect:
-
•
information relating to medical costs paid,
-
•
TT disability benefits paid,
-
•
PP disability amounts the employer or insurer would pay to the injured worker.
-
If a settlement is available in their files, the DWC provides SSA with a copy of the
Stipulation of Compromise Settlement agreement or award.
NOTE: The DWC staff cannot offer clarification or advice on any of the information within
these agreements or awards. For any additional verification of WC or Public Disability
Benefit (PDB) or needed clarification, contact the injured worker first, then outside
sources such as:
-
-
-
-
-
•
any Federal, State, or local governments.
-
•
Also refer to instructions on other sources of verification in DI 52145.001F.
The Missouri courts generally get involved at the appellate level. A worker can appeal
the DWC’s award to the Commission, the Missouri Court of Appeals, and finally to the
Missouri Supreme Court. The DWC provides SSA with court decisions where applicable.
