West Virginia Law Review
To be successful, attorneys must acquire certain basic skills and knowledge in their respective areas of expertise. Additionally, attorneys must participate in continuing legal education to maintain these basic skills and knowledge. This is especially true for federal black lung attorneys due to the dynamic nature of the law in this area. Federal black lung law has changed dramatically since the orginial enactment of Title IV of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. Since its passage in December 1969, the Act has been substantially amended twice, first by the Black Lung Benefits Act of 1972 (BLBA), …

West Virginia Law Review
Title IV of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 [the Black Lung Act], as amended by the Black Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977 establishes, inter alia, a new presumption intended to substantially assist widows and other dependent survivors of coal miners in gaining benefits for disability caused by coal workers' pneumoconiosis (more commonly known as black lung disease). Survivors of coal miners who died before March 1, 1978, with twenty-five or more years of coal mine employment accrued prior to July 1, 1971, are presumed to be entitled to benefits unless it is established that, …

Black Lung Benefit Trusts As A Federal Self-Insurance Alternative, Peter M. Kelly
West Virginia Law Review
Since the enactment of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act1 (FCMHSA) in late 1969, occupational pneumoconiosis, "black lung disease," has been compensable under federal law. These federal black lung benefits are coordinated with state workmen's compensation or occupational disease laws to provide death or disability benefits for coal miners suffering from the disease. Black lung benefits are provided at federal cost under Part B of Title IV of the FCMHSA with respect to claims which arose before July 1, 1973 (Part B benefits)." Benefits are payable directly or indirectly by coal mine operators under Part C of Title …
The Black Lung Benefits Reform And Revenue Acts Of 1977, John Rollins
The Black Lung Benefits Reform And Revenue Acts Of 1977, John Rollins
West Virginia Law Review
On February 15, 1978, Congress enacted the Black Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977. The passage of this legislation followed months of congressional indecision over just how the existing black lung benefits system could be reformed. During this period, the financing of the program appeared to be the most divisive issue. That issue was finally resolved by the enactment in late January of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977. After this hurdle was cleared, the conference committee report on the reform act easily passed both houses.' The Act, which amended the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act …
