In a Texas Workers' Compensation case, what are the impairment ratings that can become final if not disputed within 90 days? The Texas Workers' Compensation Act states:
(a) The certifications and assignments that may become final are:
(1) The first valid certification of MMI and/or IR assigned or determination of no impairment;
(2) The first valid assignment of IR after the expiration of 104 weeks from the date income benefits begin to accrue or the expiration date of any extension under Section 408.104, if the employee has not been certified as having reached MMI; or
(3) The first valid subsequent certification of MMI and/or assignment of an IR or determination of no impairment received after the date a certification of MMI and/or assignment of an IR or determination of no impairment is overturned, modified or withdrawn by agreement of the parties or by a final decision of the commission or a court.
