Dear Agent,

COVID-19 reporting requirements created by the State Legislature are coming to an end at the close of the year. Due to the relaxing requirements, State Fund announced that beginning January 1, 2024:

• Employers are no longer required to report positive COVID-19 tests to their State Fund claims administrator.
• Employers are still required to:
• Report claims of a COVID-19 injury just like any other claim of an industrial injury. 
• Adhere to their COVID-19 reporting obligations to other agencies (i.e. Cal/OSHA).
• COVID-19 will no longer be a presumptive injury: 
• If a certain number of employees at a specific location test positive for COVID-19 within a specified period, then a workers’ compensation claim filed by an employee may not automatically be considered work related and the employee may not be eligible for benefits. 
• If a COVID-19 claim is submitted after the first of the year, there will be a 90-day liability decision timeframe.



This information was sent to State Fund policyholders earlier this week. If you or your clients have questions about COVID-19 reporting requirements, please call Amwins Access, your official State Fund Access Partner, at 888.693.7892.
