Division of Coal Mine Workers' Compensation (DCMWC)
The Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation frequently receives requests for program information. Please note that the Department of Labor may not have statistics for direct comparisons between claims filed under Part B and Part C of the Black Lung Benefits Act. Part B benefits were administered by the Social Security Administration until 1998, and SSA reports those expenditures on a calendar year basis, not the fiscal year (October – September) used by DOL. Some of the most frequently requested statistics may be accessed on-line by following the links provided below.
These statistics have been rearranged to include separate links to cumulative tables and to statistics compiled annually
