The Workers’ Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) published their 2026 CompScope™ Benchmarks, which compare the performance of state workers’ comp systems in 18 states, focusing on overall medical payments, income benefits, use of benefits, duration of temporary disability, benefit delivery expenses, timeliness of payments, and other metrics.
