The amendments to the Code appear to respond to recent arguments by the claimant’s bar that a job cannot be deemed available if the claimant was not made aware of the position. While that argument remains dubious, the new regulations require vocational experts to issue a written disclosure to claimants detailing their role and relationship, share their initial report following a vocational interview with claimants, and provide claimants with the labor market survey (LMS)/earning power assessment at the same time they are provided to defense counsel/employer/carrier. Carriers/TPAs are now required to disclose any financial interest that entity has in the entity conducting the labor market survey/earning power assessment.
