State Workers Compensation Agencies
Each state has an agency that provides administrative services for workers’ compensation, has adjudicatory responsibilities in cases of disputes, and/or develops regulations and rules for the workers’ compensation system consistent with the intent of legislative mandates. Portions of the agencies may operate as commissions, bureaus, or departments. They may be affiliated with other levels of government in the states such as labor, industry, insurance or commerce.
Other Roles of State Workers Compensation Agencies
Many state agencies oversee special funds that provide benefits to injured or ill workers whose
employer failed to obtain the legally required coverage. Most states also offer second injury
funds which reimburse employers for certain claims paid to workers with pre-existing injuries.
A few state agencies, e.g. Ohio and Washington, provide safety grants to offset some portion
of an employer’s expenses for installation of safety equipment. Grants in other states, e.g.
Massachusetts and Oregon, are made to support development of injury prevention training programs
