Occupational Benefits During United’s Bankruptcy

It is United's position that Workers' Compensation benefits in Bankruptcy reorganization will be administered as they currently exist. United and its claim administrator, Gallagher Bassett will continue to handle claims per the state jurisdiction that is appropriate and applicable. Payments for lost time benefits and medical treatment will continue to be paid within timelines allowed by state regulation.

United supplemental benefits related to Workers Compensation claims will be reviewed as part of the reorganization process.

It is not the intent of United Airlines to default on our obligations related to Workers Compensation benefits.

Manager, Workers Compensation Programs
