If you are injured, become ill, become disabled or die in the line of duty while serving on state active duty with the Iowa National Guard, you are covered under Iowa workers’ compensation law. A totally disabled member keeps pay and allowances at their pay grade, a partially disabled member receives partial pay and allowances, and the dependents of a member killed in the line of duty receive the maximum compensation the law provides.
Report the injury, illness or death through your chain of command and file a workers’ compensation claim through the Iowa National Guard.
Your state active duty orders, a line of duty determination, and your medical records or the death certificate.
