Section 262-X-3-.05 - Collateral Source Contribution Not Required

The Commission shall not require any claimant to seek or accept any collateral source contribution, unless the claimant was receiving or was entitled to receive such benefits prior to the occurrence giving rise to the claim under the provisions of this chapter; provided, however, no applicant shall be denied compensation solely because such applicant is entitled to income from a collateral source. All claimants filing a civil suit for damages resulting from the victimization for which they filed for compensation must promptly report the filing of such suit to the Commission.
