- SUBJECT: MGT - WORKERS' COMPENSATION - PART 2/2
-
- "If you are engaged in regularly scheduled disaster service, including
- training, your coverage is only during such activities - not while you are
- enroute between your home and the place to which you are to report for
- service or training. However, if you are a disaster service worker
- suddenly called to duty during an emergency, your workers' compensa-
- tion coverage starts when you leave your house and lasts until you are
- able to return, as long as you make no route deviations for personal
- reasons.
- "The State Compensation Insurance Funds pays workers' compensa-
- tion benefits to disaster service workers. The State Fund is a state divi-
- sion within the Department of Industrial Relations. The money for these
- benefits comes from special funds appropriated by the Legislature."
- [End of quoted extracts.]
- The preceding describes the disaster service worker designation
- and coverage quoted in a pamphlet issued by the California State
- Insurance Office.
- The document that assures how this applies to hams in the service
- of their communities is the model Auxiliary Radio Service plan (which
- may e further specified as RACES) - titled the model Sant Luisa Plan.
- It contains protective enabling wording specifying the disaster service
- worker coverage for those properly registered thereunder.
