053-10 Wyo. Code R. §§ 10-13 - Home and Vehicle Modifications
(a) Workers who
have experienced a catastrophic injury may be eligible for home and vehicle
modifications. Catastrophic injuries include, but are not limited to paralysis,
quadriplegia, severe head trauma, amputation and multiple traumas. Requests for
home or vehicle modifications will be reviewed by Division staff to determine
if the home or vehicle modification meets the injured worker's needs for
safety, mobility, and activities of daily living. Only one residence and one
current vehicle of a catastrophically injured worker will be modified.
Modifications must be reasonable and appropriate for the injured worker's actual functional disability and level of care.
(i) A home modification is defined as a
physical structural change to an injured worker's permanent residence. If the
injured worker does not own property of his residence, he must obtain and
submit to the Division written permission for structural modification and proof
of ownership from the property owner before modifications will be considered.
(A) The Division will not pay for any
structural modifications performed prior to the Division giving written
consent.
(B) The Division will not
pay to restore the modified structure to its original condition when the
injured worker ceases to reside on the property.
(ii) Modifications can be done at the time a
home is being built, but the Division shall only pay for the cost difference
between the standard home structure and the modified structure. The
modifications must be in compliance with accessibility standards.
(iii) The Division will not purchase any real
estate or new or used motor vehicle for the injured worker.
