AK Stat § 23.30.165 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 23. Labor and Workers' Compensation|Chapter 30. Alaska Workers' Compensation Act|Article 4. Payment of Compensation.|Sec. 23.30.165. Lien.

(a) Each employee and beneficiary entitled to compensation under the provisions of this chapter has a lien for the full amount of the compensation the person is entitled to, including costs and disbursements of suit and attorney fees allowed, upon all of the property in connection with the construction, preservation, maintenance, or operation of which the work of the employee was being performed at the time of the injury or death. For example: in the case of an employee injured or killed while engaged in mining or in work connected with mining, the lien extends to the entire mine and all property used in connection with it; and in the case of an employee injured or killed while engaged in fishing or in the packing, canning, or salting of fish, or other branch of the fish industry, the lien extends to the entire packing, fishing, salting, or canning plant or establishment and all property used in connection with it; and this is the case with other businesses, industries, works, occupations, and employments. (b) The lien is prior and paramount to any other lien on the property, except a lien for wages or materials as provided by law, and is of equal rank with a lien for wages or materials. (c) The lien extends to all right, title, interest, and claim of the employer in the property affected by the lien. (d) A person claiming a lien under this chapter shall, within one year after the date of the injury from which the claim of compensation arises, record in the office of the recorder of the recording district in which the property affected by the lien is located a notice of lien signed and verified by the claimant or someone on behalf of the claimant, and stating, in substance, the name of the person injured or killed out of which injury or death the claim of compensation arises, the name of the employer of the injured or deceased person at the time of the injury or death, a description of the property affected or covered by the lien, and the name of the owner or reputed owner of the property. (e) The lien for compensation provided for in this section may be enforced by equitable proceedings as in the enforcement of other liens upon real or personal property, within 10 months after the cause of action arises. Nothing in this section prevents an attachment of property as security for the payment of compensation.
AK Stat § 23.30.170 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 23. Labor and Workers' Compensation|Chapter 30. Alaska Workers' Compensation Act|Article 4. Payment of Compensation.|Sec. 23.30.170. Collection of defaulted payments.

(a) In case of default by the employer in the payment of compensation due under an award of compensation for a period of 30 days after the compensation is due, the person to whom the compensation is payable may, within one year after the default, apply to the board making the compensation order for a supplementary order declaring the amount of the default. After investigation, notice, and hearing, as provided in AS 23.30.110, the board shall make a supplementary order declaring the amount of the default. The order shall be filed in the same manner as the compensation order. (b) If the payment in default is an installment of the award, the board may, in its discretion, declare the whole of the award as the amount in default. The applicant may file a certified copy of the supplementary order with the clerk of the superior court. The supplementary order is final. The court shall, upon the filing of the copy, enter judgment for the amount declared in default by the supplementary order if it is in accordance with law. Any time after a supplementary order by the board, the attorney general, when requested to do so by the commissioner, shall take appropriate action to assure collection of the defaulted payments. (c) Review of the judgment may be had as in a civil action for damages. Final proceedings to execute the judgment may be had by writ of execution. The court shall modify the judgment to conform to a later compensation order upon presentation of a certified copy of it to the court.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 23. Labor and Workers' Compensation|Chapter 30. Alaska Workers' Compensation Act|Article 5. Computation of Compensation.|Sec. 23.30.180. Permanent total disability.

(a) In case of total disability adjudged to be permanent 80 percent of the injured employee's spendable weekly wages shall be paid to the employee during the continuance of the total disability. If a permanent partial disability award has been made before a permanent total disability determination, permanent total disability benefits must be reduced by the amount of the permanent partial disability award, adjusted for inflation, in a manner determined by the board. Loss of both hands, or both arms, or both feet, or both legs, or both eyes, or of any two of them, in the absence of conclusive proof to the contrary, constitutes permanent total disability. In all other cases permanent total disability is determined in accordance with the facts. In making this determination the market for the employee's services shall be (1) area of residence; (2) area of last employment; (3) the state of residence; and (4) the State of Alaska. (b) Failure to achieve remunerative employability as defined in AS 23.30.041(r) does not, by itself, constitute permanent total disability.

AK Stat § 23.30.190 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 23. Labor and Workers' Compensation|Chapter 30. Alaska Workers' Compensation Act|Article 5. Computation of Compensation.|Sec. 23.30.190. Compensation for permanent partial impairment; rating guides.

(a) In case of impairment partial in character but permanent in quality, and not resulting in permanent total disability, the compensation is $177,000 multiplied by the employee's percentage of permanent impairment of the whole person. The percentage of permanent impairment of the whole person is the percentage of impairment to the particular body part, system, or function converted to the percentage of impairment to the whole person as provided under (b) of this section. The compensation is payable in a single lump sum, except as otherwise provided in AS 23.30.041, but the compensation may not be discounted for any present value considerations. (b) All determinations of the existence and degree of permanent impairment shall be made strictly and solely under the whole person determination as set out in the American Medical Association Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, except that an impairment rating may not be rounded to the next five percent. The board shall adopt a supplementary recognized schedule for injuries that cannot be rated by use of the American Medical Association Guides. (c) The impairment rating determined under (a) of this section shall be reduced by a permanent impairment that existed before the compensable injury. If the combination of a prior impairment rating and a rating under (a) of this section would result in the employee being considered permanently totally disabled, the prior rating does not negate a finding of permanent total disability. (d) When a new edition of the American Medical Association Guides described in (b) of this section is published, the board shall, not later than 90 days after the last day of the month in which the new edition is published, hold an open meeting under AS 44.62.310 to select the date on which the new edition will be used to make all determinations required under (b) of this section. The date selected by the board for using the new edition may not be later than 90 days after the last day of the month in which the new edition is published. After the meeting, the board shall issue a public notice announcing the date selected. The requirements of AS 44.62.010 - 44.62.300 do not apply to the selection or announcement of the date under this subsection.

(a) Compensation to which any claimant would be entitled under AS 23.30.190 shall, notwithstanding death arising from causes other than the injury, be payable to and for the benefit of the persons following: (1) if there be a widow or widower and no child of the deceased, to the widow or widower; (2) if there be a widow or widower and a surviving child of the deceased, one-half to the widow or widower, the other half to the surviving child; (3) if there be a surviving child of the deceased, but no widow or widower, then to the child. (b) An award for disability may be made after the death of the injured employee.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 23. Labor and Workers' Compensation|Chapter 30. Alaska Workers' Compensation Act|Article 5. Computation of Compensation.|Sec. 23.30.200. Temporary partial disability.

(a) In case of temporary partial disability resulting in decrease of earning capacity the compensation shall be 80 percent of the difference between the injured employee's spendable weekly wages before the injury and the wage-earning capacity of the employee after the injury in the same or another employment, to be paid during the continuance of the disability, but not to be paid for more than five years. Temporary partial disability benefits may not be paid for a period of disability occurring after the date of medical stability. (b) The wage-earning capacity of an injured employee is determined by the actual spendable weekly wage of the employee if the actual spendable weekly wage fairly and reasonably represents the wage-earning capacity of the employee. The board may, in the interest of justice, fix the wage-earning capacity that is reasonable, having due regard to the nature of the injury, the degree of physical impairment, the usual employment, and other factors or circumstances in the case that may affect the capacity of the employee to earn wages in a disabled condition, including the effect of disability as it may naturally extend into the future.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 23. Labor and Workers' Compensation|Chapter 30. Alaska Workers' Compensation Act|Article 5. Computation of Compensation.|Sec. 23.30.225. Social security and pension or profit sharing plan offsets.

(a) When periodic retirement or survivors' benefits are payable under 42 U.S.C. 401 - 433 (Title II, Social Security Act), the weekly compensation provided for in this chapter shall be reduced by an amount equal as nearly as practicable to one-half of the federal periodic benefits for a given week. (b) When it is determined that, in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 401 - 433, periodic disability benefits are payable to an employee or the employee's dependents for an injury for which a claim has been filed under this chapter, weekly disability benefits payable under this chapter shall be offset by an amount by which the sum of (1) weekly benefits to which the employee is entitled under 42 U.S.C. 401 - 433, and (2) weekly disability benefits to which the employee would otherwise be entitled under this chapter, exceeds 80 percent of the employee's average weekly wages at the time of injury. (c) If employer contributions to a qualified pension or profit sharing plan have been included in the determination of gross earnings and the employee is receiving pension or profit sharing payments, weekly compensation benefits payable under this chapter shall be reduced by the amount paid or payable to the injured worker under the plan for any week or weeks during which compensation benefits are also payable. The amount of the reduction may not in any week exceed the increase in weekly compensation benefits brought about by the inclusion of employer contributions to a qualified pension or profit sharing plan in the determination of gross earnings.
