The Division of Workers Compensation of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations oversees the day-to-day operation of the system. The division receives notifications from employers that they obtained coverage and reports of injuries from employers and insurers. It also mediates disputes over benefits. It monitors insurance company safety programs and investigates allegations of fraudulent claims. Employers can call the division toll free at 1-888-837-6069. DIFP reviews and approves workers compensation insurance policy forms and rules. It also monitors workers compensation market competitiveness and oversees the “assigned risk pool” to ensure fair rates and good service.
