Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resources in IRMI Workers Comp
After writing "Coronavirus
(COVID-19)—Is It Compensable?," it became very clear that bringing
COVID-19 under control will be a marathon, not a sprint, providing the workers
compensation system with its biggest challenge since 9/11. Workers
Compensation and COVID-19—Resources has been added to IRMI
Workers Comp to provide some resources that can be used to assist
navigating the new normal for employers and their workers. This information
will be updated regularly. Also, due to COVID-19, many state insurance
regulators have issued bulletins and directives aimed at providing a grace
period for the payment insurance premiums, cancellations, and the nonrenewal of
insurance policies. At the beginning of the State Cancellation/Nonrenewal
Provisions for Workers Compensation Coverage chart contained in this
publication, there is a link to a chart of
COVID-19 State Cancellation Bulletins and Directives. This information will
be updated frequently.
