REHABILITATION INCENTIVE (§ 51.1-1168)

Supplemental disability benefits payable to a participating employee who fails

decreased by 50 percent of the amounts otherwise payable to such employee. In
determining the amount of any reduction in benefits under this section, the
participating employee shall be presumed to continue to receive benefits payable
under the Act. Failure to comply with a vocational rehabilitation assessment
process at any time the employee is receiving supplemental disability benefits
may constitute a failure to cooperate for purposes of this section.
