How soon after an award are benefits paid from the Uninsured Employers Fund?
In general, it takes 90 to 120 days after the date of an award for payments to be made from the Fund. This is necessary and includes a 45-day period during which the employer is allowed to make full payment of awarded amounts, docketing of liens in the Superior Court, as well as the approval and payment voucher process required to make payments. No payments may be made prior to an award by the courts of the Division of Workers’ Compensation and the docketing of amounts owed.
