How does a worker get benefits when hurt on-the-job?
If SAIF is the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company, we will begin evaluating the claim as soon as it is received. We will notify the worker and employer in writing when the claim has been accepted or denied. A claim number will be assigned to the claim. A claims adjuster may contact the worker by telephone or in writing to ask questions about the claim. Workers should have their claim number with them when they complete any forms, see the doctor or call SAIF. Having the claim number available will also help workers get their questions answered quickly.
