Who is eligible to receive benefits from the Uninsured Employers Fund?
When a formal workers’ compensation claim is filed with the Division of Workers’ Compensation and the employer is found to be uninsured, a motion to join the Uninsured Employers Fund is submitted by the worker or his/her attorney. If an award is made for temporary disability benefits and/or medical expenses, the Uninsured Employers Fund will make payment of the temporary disability benefits and reasonable and customary medical expenses included in the Judge’s Order.
