N.D. Cent. Code § 65-05-09.5: Additional benefit payable - Alternative calculation

1.This section applies to an injured employee who has a claim for which:

a.A compensable injury was incurred before August 1, 1995;

b.The date of first disability or the date of successful reapplication under subsection 1 of section 65-05-08 was after July 31, 1995; and

c.The injured employee received a determination of permanent and total disability before August 1, 2007.

2.An injured employee who meets the requirements of subsection 1 is entitled to an alternative calculation of additional benefits payable instead of the calculation provided for under section 65-05-09.4. For the limited purpose of this alternative calculation, the organization shall use the calculation established under section 65-05-09.4 and shall consider that the injured employee's pre-August 1, 1995, date of injury is also the injured employee's date of first disability.
