Jurisdictions where an employer must obtain workers compensation insurance from
a compulsory state fund or qualify as a self-insurer (as is allowed in two of
the jurisdictions). Such insurance is not subject to any of the procedures or
programs of the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI). Instead,
each jurisdiction has its own rules and regulations that govern the placement
and administration of workers compensation insurance. The following
states/jurisdictions are monopolistic fund states: North Dakota, Ohio,
Washington, Wyoming, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
