This is the Academy’s 27th annual report on workers’ compensation benefits, costs, and coverage. This report presents new data on state and federal workers’ compensation programs for 2022 and updated estimates for 2018-2021. The updated estimates replace estimates in the Academy’s prior reports. This report shows five-year trends in benefits, costs, and coverage, as have been reported in prior years. However, this report also shows the annual changes in data between 2020 and 2022 to highlight year-over-year trends in benefits, costs, and coverage related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Statistical data for Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories are not included in this report. Detailed descriptions of the methods used to produce the estimates in this report are available online at nasi.org.
