A variety of changes to Floridas workers compensation law went into effect July 1. Gov. Rick Scott signed into law CS/HB 1087, a catch-all insurance bill that includes changes relating to workers compensation policy cancellations, premium audits and prepaid benefit cards. One change allows injured workers to receive their monetary benefits in the form of a prepaid card. Under the previous law, benefits were only payable by check or direct deposit into an injured workers bank account.
