EMPLOYEE: The intent of this questionnaire is to provide your employer with knowledge about any pre‐ existing medical condition or disability which may entitle your employer to reimbursement from the Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Second Injury Board in the event you suffer an on‐the‐job injury.1 This reimbursement in no way affects the benefits owed to you by your employer or its insurance company under the Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Act.

INSTRUCTIONS: Please answer ALL questions completely. If a response requires an explanation, please provide a brief description on the Explanation Page. If you have any questions or need help in answering the questions on this form, please ask for assistance from the Employer Representative signing this form.
