Fraud Unit DA in California Admits to Knowing Zero About Employee Rights

"I don't really know about what employees' rights are when it comes to workers' comp," he said.  "I know what fraud is, I can talk about that all day long.  But in terms of what their rights are, I will admit to Yolo County I am neglectful of that."


Lt. Stroski continues,  "So if anyone wants to help me out with that I would be glad to take that advice and run with it and include it in our outreach program. Bottom line is I have been remiss in doing that because I don't feel I'm qualified.  If you are going to ask me that, the answer is zero, I don't feel qualified."

Energy Workers Seek Faster Benefit Processing System

Energy workers exposed to radioactive substances and their survivors have spoken out for a speedier process to obtain benefits under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) of 2000. The EEOICPA was intend to provide compensation payment to energy workers and their survivors by way of a lumpsum payment and medical coverage for certain diseases.


The complex benefit system has been plagued by delays in processing claims. The latest outcry has come from workers of a uranium conversion plant in Metropolis, IL, where 42 workers have died of cancer. Ironically Metropolis was the self-proclaimed hometown of the comic book character, Superman.


The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report in March 2010 recommending that additional independent oversight should be created. The report found that cases that do not require dose reconstruction take about a year to process, but those that do require it, may take up to 3 year to process.
