Draft cuts temporary OJI pay from 400 weeks to 11 months; trustees weigh effects
Summary
The consultant's draft reduces temporary partial disability from 400 weeks to 11 months and shortens inactive-claim closure from six months to three months; trustees requested written edits and time to review before voting.
The consultant told trustees that the 1999 plan's unusually long temporary-partial-disability provision (described historically as 400 weeks) has been shortened in the 2026 draft to 11 months "to tidy that up" and to better align with comparable county and city OJI plans. "We went from 400 weeks to 11 months," the consultant said while outlining the change.
Trustees discussed potential consequences for employees and county budgets and asked staff to provide precise draft language and, if needed, an equivalent-weeks formulation. The consultant also said inactive claims would be closed after three months of no medical-claim activity, down from six months in the older document, which trustees flagged as a material operational change.
