During the Iraq and Afghanistan wars the U.S. government has relied heavily on military contracting companies and their employees to carry out military missions in Middle East. Since 2001, high salaries and the call to serve the country have persuaded many people to take the risk of working in war zones. Yet the many individuals who have been injured while performing such duties now find themselves caught between their insurance companies and the U.S. Department of Labor, as they fight for the workers’ compensation and healthcare coverage they were promised. / text

CDAs are agreements between injured workers and insurers that close claims for a lump sum payment in lieu of other payments to which workers may be entitled. Intuitively, CDA payment amounts are expected to vary in response to changes in WC benefit levels. Models for decision-making processes related to lump sum versus benefit streams suggest the opposite. This thesis examines the relationship between CDA amounts and permanent partial disability (PPD) using two models. The first model utilizes individual claim information before and after a legislated benefit increase in the state of Oregon. The second model examines aggregate claims and payments made over a 16-year period from 1990 through 1995. / Committee In Charge Dr. Jessica Greene, Chair; Dr. L. Leete; Dr. R. Irvin
