With the Deductible Discount Program, an employer may reduce Workers’ Compensation premiums with an agreement to reimburse the Division for all losses up to a specified deductible amount. The deductible would apply to each report of injury claim filed.

Program highlights:

  • Deductible amounts per claim range from $1,000 to $100,000
  • The Division will require an employer to provide a Surety Bond, Letter of Credit, or a cash deposit guaranteeing payment of losses
  • The Division assumes responsibility for all losses in excess of the deductible level
  • The Division continues to adjudicate all claims and continues to pay all compensable claims
  • The employer reimburses the Division for all costs up to the selected deductible for the life of each claim
