Montana Lawmaker Proposes Cutting Workers' Comp Costs By Prohibiting Illegals From Compensation
By Lonce LaMon - January 17, 2011

The state of Montana has the highest workers' compensation costs in the United States, according to a 2010 workers' compensation premium rate ranking summary conducted by the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services.  Its rates were measured at $3.33 per $100 of payroll, .

Now a Montana lawmaker has proposed reducing the cost of that state's workers' compensation insurance by prohibiting illegal immigrant workers from collecting benefits when they are injured.

House Bill 71, sponsored by Rep. Gordon Vance, R-Bozeman, would require a workers' comp insurer to develop a verification process to determine if an injured employee is an illegal immigrant. This would ensure that no wage-loss or medical benefits for work-related injuries would be paid to illegals.

According to the bill text, benefits could be paid to an alien if he or she is an individual lawfully admitted for permanent residence at the time the injury occurred, was lawfully present for the purposes of performing the services that resulted in the work-related injury or disease, or was permanently residing in the United States under color of law at the time the services that resulted in the work-related injury or disease were performed.

Opponents of the bill told Montana's newspaper, the Great Falls Tribune, that the bill could lead to some employers wanting to hire illegal aliens to avoid paying workers' comp, as well as lead to lawsuits over the state's authority to determine who is eligible for workers' comp benefits, and lawsuits from illegal aliens who are injured on the job and have no other avenue to get compensated for their injuries.
