39-71-510. Limitation on benefit entitlement under fund. (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of 39-71-407, 39-71-503, and subsection (2) of this section, injured employees or an employee's beneficiaries who pursue a claim for benefits from the uninsured employers' fund are not granted an entitlement by this state for full workers' compensation benefits from the fund. Benefits from the fund must be paid in accordance with the money in the fund. If the department determines at any time that the money in the fund is not adequate to fully pay all claims, the department may make appropriate proportionate reductions in benefits to all claimants. The reductions do not entitle claimants to retroactive reimbursements in the future.
(2) The maximum medical benefits entitlement for any single claim against the fund is limited to an aggregate amount of $100,000.
