RAND Study Inflated California’s SIBTF Liability by $6.75 Billion, Jacobi Journal Investigation Reveals

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into a groundbreaking investigation by The Jacobi Journal of Insurance Investigation, which uncovers significant discrepancies in a RAND Corporation report. The report, commissioned by the California Department of Industrial Relations, projected a total liability of $7.9 billion for California’s Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund. However, The Jacobi Journal's analysis reveals that this figure was inflated by more than $6.75 billion due to methodological flaws, raising concerns about the accuracy and intent of the research used to inform potential state policy reforms.
The investigation identified critical errors in RAND's methodology, including nonrepresentative case sampling and inflated valuation of total disability awards. These errors led to an overstatement of the fund's liability, which could have resulted in restrictive policy changes detrimental to California's most severely injured workers. The Jacobi Journal urges lawmakers and public policy analysts to re-examine the assumptions underlying the RAND report before proceeding with any reforms. For more information, the full Jacobi Journal report is available for public download at JacobiJournal.com.
