HB 1142 adds post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to the list of injuries that workers can claim compensation for under South Dakota's workers' compensation system. This means workers who develop PTSD as a result of their job duties would be eligible for the same medical benefits and wage replacement that apply to other work-related injuries. The change expands who can receive workers' compensation benefits to include employees suffering from service-related mental health conditions.
