Missouri Approves First $50K in Line of Duty Claims from Comp Fund

Missouri workers’ compensation regulators recently approved payment to families of individuals killed in the line of duty to protect the public. The Missouri Labor Department’s Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) mailed the first checks in the program after approving the two claims filed in 2010. These Missouri families each received $25,000 from the Line of Duty Compensation Fund, for a total of $50,000.
