MD HB1455

Requires combining weekly wages from all concurrent employers when calculating average weekly wage for workers' compensation benefits for employees with temporary partial or temporary total disabilities who cannot return to any of their jobs due to injury

Applies only when the injured employee held multiple jobs at the time of injury and the injury prevents them from performing any of those jobs or similar employment

Employer where the injury occurred remains solely liable for paying compensation; other employers face no compensation liability

Subsequent Injury Fund or Uninsured Employers' Fund must reimburse the responsible employer for the portion of compensation based on wages from the employee's other jobs, with the fund having the higher balance covering the reimbursement

Applies retroactively to all active workers' compensation claims receiving temporary disability benefits as of October 1, 2025, with the Workers' Compensation Commission required to recalculate affected claims
