So, yeah, the whole getting the “new calculators working” by July 23, 2008 thing isn’t going to happen. But, you knew that. I’m kinda sorry I even wrote that post. Two reasons:

  1. I broke the cardinal rule of software development. Under-promise and over-deliver. As a one-man show, I’m wearing the programmer and project manager hats. I should really know better by now. A friend of mine had a great post on this exact issue.
  2. And, I ended a sentence with a preposition.

That said, here’s my new goal: Updated calculators before the 2009 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule is adopted!

More updates!

Now there are two links to the CCR’s. Its easier to search by code section through the DIR website, BUT its easier to search for a particular phrase through the Westlaw link. FYI: You don’t need a Westlaw account to use this service!

Have you seen the draft proposed 2009? Download it and take a look! Setting aside the issues of whether it will result in PD increases or decreases, there are some interesting changes from the 2005 schedule. This draft propsed 2009 schedule changes how age modifies a rating and completely revamps the FEC rank system. For more information, check out the DWC Newsline.
