In cases where a claimant is determined to be permanently totally disabled, any such case may be reopened at any time to determine
if the claimant has returned to employment. If the claimant has returned to employment and is earning in excess of four thousand
dollars per year or has participated in activities which indicate that the claimant has the ability to return to employment, such

benefits as a result of the injury or occupational disease which led to the original permanent total disability award. Any subsequent

permanent total disability benefits previously received by the employee.
Attorney(s) for
In the absence of an agreement with the claimant to voluntarily reopen and terminate permanent total disability benefits
followed by an admission terminating the same, the insurer or self-insured employer must request a hearing before an
administrative law judge should it seek to terminate these benefits.
