What is the WCRA?
The Workers’ Compensation Reinsurance Association was established by Minnesota statute in 1979 to respond to a need for reinsurance protection for serious workers’ compensation claims. The association’s membership consists of companies and governmental subdivisions authorized to insure their own workers’ compensation (“self-insurers”), and insurance companies authorized to write workers’ compensation insurance (“insurers”). All Minnesota entities fitting those definitions are required by law to be WCRA members.
