In accordance with Rhode Island General Laws, any future Worker’s Compensation claim will not be approved within the first two years of your employment should you willfully provide false information or intentionally fail to disclose Worker’s Compensation history. This false or withheld information must be directly related to the personal injury, which is the basis of your new Workers’ Compensation claims.
Rhode Island State Law
We are required to as about Workers’ Compensation Claims you have made in the past, by the R.I. Workers’ Compensation Act, R.I. Gen Laws 28-37-1 et Seq., a law which also establishes a fund to encourage employers to hire people who have been receiving Workers’ compensation for job-incurred injury or illness. Those disabilities are not a bar to employment with the College, but are considered only as they pertain to specific job requirements. Although the College does not require you to answer the following question, R.I. law (R.I. Gen. Laws 28-35-57-1) makes you ineligible or Workers’ Compensation for two years if you fail now to disclose prior injuries or provide false information.
