Workers’ Compensation Fraud Policy

Any employee who suspects workers’ compensation fraud should notify his or her supervisor immediately. Supervisors who receive information about suspected workers’ compensation fraud must report that information immediately.

Examples of workers’ compensation fraud include, but are not limited to:

Making a false or misleading statement to receive workers’ compensation benefits (Example: reporting an injury that does not exist). Misrepresenting or concealing a material fact to receive workers’ compensation benefits (Example: reporting an off-duty injury as a work-related injury).

Fabricating, altering, concealing or destroying a document to receive workers’ compensation benefits. (Example: withholding a doctor’s release to return to work form).

Conspiring to commit an act described above (example: helping another employee stage or fake a work-related injury).

Each filed claim is reviewed and may be fully investigated. If any of the facts are found to be false, inaccurate, withheld or exaggerated, disciplinary action including termination will be taken. CRA will cooperate fully with all state and local law officials, to identify and prosecute any employee who commits or conspires to commit workers’ compensation fraud.
