俄亥俄州批准4000万美元用于急救人员的PTSD护理，等待州长签署。 Ohio approves $40M for first responders’ PTSD care, pending governor’s signature.

俄亥俄州立法者已经批准为州创伤后应激障碍基金拨款4000万美元, 用于支持与工作有关的心理健康伤害的第一反应者, 自2026年7月1日起生效。 Ohio lawmakers have approved $40 million in funding for a state PTSD fund to support first responders with job-related mental health injuries, effective July 1, 2026. 该基金于2020年设立,但先前资金没有着落,将帮助支付因创伤后精神紧张症致残的消防员、警察和紧急医疗队人员的工资损失和医疗费用。 The fund, created in 2020 but previously unfunded, will help cover lost wages and medical costs for firefighters, police, and EMTs disabled by PTSD. 虽然拨款被视为一个重大步骤,但目前还没有正式的申请或索偿程序,官员说制定工作制度是下一个关键任务。 While the appropriation is seen as a major step, no formal application or claims process exists yet, and officials say developing a working system is the next crucial task. 此举解决了俄亥俄州工人补偿方案中的一个缺口,这个缺口不包括心理健康伤害。 The move addresses a gap in Ohio’s workers’ compensation program, which does not cover mental health injuries. 该法案现正在等待总督Mike DeWine的签名。 The bill now awaits Governor Mike DeWine’s signature.
