Coverage Limits & Rights of Subrogation

All Workforce Safety & Insurance account holders are equally insured with worker's compensation coverage provided by Workforce Safety & Insurance, a monopolistic state fund. Coverage is provided without limits other than the limits placed on individual benefits such as the maximum weekly disability benefit.

All accounts have an annual renewal date; however, coverage does not cease on that date, but rather continues without interruption until the account is closed. Only in the event of a significantly delinquent account does Workforce Safety & Insurance issue a formal notice of an uninsured status. A certificate evidencing the account's good standing is issued annually.

Workforce Safety & Insurance does not waive its rights of subrogation.

Workforce Safety & Insurance does not allow additional insureds to be listed on the account.

Workforce Safety & Insurance does not include General Liability coverage.

Workforce Safety & Insurance, because it is a state agency, does not issue a policy. Rather, all provisions are stated in the form of State statute or administrative rules.
