Governor Pat Quinn today announced the appointments of 7 commissioners to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC). Commissioners review workers’ compensation appeals, and today’s appointments relate to the package of reforms to the workers’ compensation system that Governor Quinn led through the General Assembly and signed earlier this year.
“We set out to review and reform our entire workers’ compensation system in Illinois, and that’s what we have done,” Governor Quinn said. “Our reforms continue protections for workers, while also saving our businesses millions and improving Illinois’ business climate. These commissioners will ensure that Illinois workers’ compensation cases are judged fairly so that workers and business can have confidence in our system.”
