Ariz. Admin. Code § R20-5-122 - Lump Sum Commutation
A. A
petition for a lump sum commutation in an unscheduled case shall not be
approved unless the carrier approves of such petition.
B. If the lump sum commutation petition is
approved by the carrier, the Commission's primary consideration in passing upon
the petition will be whether more net income per month will be generated after
receipt of the lump sum than the applicant is presently receiving. The granting
of a lump sum petition will only be granted if the facts demonstrate a
reasonable basis for financial betterment or rehabilitation of the
claimant.
C. The burden of proving
that the commutation of compensation satisfies the criteria in (B) is on the
applicant.
