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.
