Black Lung Benefit Act

The Black Lung Benefits Act provides compensation for miners suffering from “black lung” (pneumoconiosis). The Act requires liable mine operations to pay disability payments and establishes a fund administered by the Secretary of Labor providing disability payments to miners where the mine operator is unknown or unable to pay. The Office of Worker’s Compensation Programs regulates the administration of the act.
