Bypass The Special Fund With WAMO

January 3, 2011 By Paul Giannetti

In older cases, the Special Funds Conservation Committee may become liable to reimburse your Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier for payments made to you.  While this does not directly effect the claimant’s entitlement to benefits, Special Funds involvement will usually dramatically slow down the settlement process.

In certain cases, the Waive Agreement Management Office (WAMO) can assist in negotiating and settling Workers’ Compensation cases under Section 32.

WAMO does not need to consult with or receive the approval of employer, Workers’ Compensation carrier, or Special Funds Conservation Committee to go forward with a settlement.
