Workers' Compensation Claims: Third Quarter 2012 (2012Q3)
Methodological Note Regarding 2012Q3 Quarterly Report: Continued claims are calculated by identifying any activity for a claim within a given quarter. The Workers Compensation program migrated to a different data system during the second and third quarters of 2012. The newer system records more detailed information regarding claims and therefore, the count of continued claims has increased for recent quarters.
