Late first pay penalty

In Rhode Island workers’ compensation, a penalty applies when the first benefit payment is not made on time. The amount of that late first-pay penalty is ten percent of the first payment due. This penalty is meant to compensate the worker for the delay and to encourage prompt initial benefit payment. The other options (5%, 15%, or no penalty) do not reflect this rule, and the penalty specifically targets the initial payment rather than subsequent payments.
