Workers' Compensation

Program History

The State Government Workers' Compensation Program (SGWCP) was established in 1985 and is administered in the Office of State Personnel. The purpose of the program is to ensure that all eligible employees who experience a work related injury or illness receive appropriate medical care and equitable benefits as provided under the Workers' Compensation Act and the State Personnel Policy.

The State is a self-insured employer, which means that agencies do not purchase coverage for workers' compensation, but pay expenditures as they occur. The State has contracted with a Third Party Administrator (TPA) to handle the workers' compensation claims of most employees. The TPA is responsible for all compensation and medical bill payments through a workers' compensation fund established by State agencies and universities and administered by the Office of the State Controller, in cooperation with the Office of State Personnel.
