To help businesses facing difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ohio BWC is announcing that insurance premium installment payments due for March, April, and May for the current policy year may be deferred until June 1, 2020. At that time the matter will be reconsidered.

Here are Frequently Asked Questions to provide information about the coronavirus' (COVID-19's) impact on BWC operations.

BWC Rate-makeing 101

While BWC generally provides coverage for employees working temporarily outside of Ohio, complications can arise when the injured worker files a claim in another state. Treatment can be delayed and businesses can be subject to penalties by the other state. 

Effective Sept. 29, 2015, BWC will no longer consider volunteer corporate officers of nonprofit corporations to be employees for purposes of workers' compensation. Therefore, BWC will no longer require nonprofits to pay premiums for these volunteers.
