Spending by major account category
The Nebraska Workers' Compensation Act was first passed in 1913 (originally known as the Nebraska Workmen's Compensation Act) and from then until 1917 the Act was administered by the several state district courts. In 1917, the Legislature created the Compensation Division in the Department of Labor and the commissioner of labor was designated compensation commissioner. The 1935 Legislature established the Workmen's Compensation Court and transferred Compensation Division functions to the court. In 1986, the name of the court was changed to the Workers' Compensation Court. By 1988, the workers' compensation bench had grown to seven judges who hear disputed cases throughout the state. The authority and responsibilities of the court are found in Chapter 48, Article 1, of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska.http://www.wcc.ne.gov/
