Work Comp
What is workers’ compensation insurance?
Workers’ compensation insurance pays for approved medical, hospital and related services due to workplace injuries and illnesses and provides partial compensation for those who are temporarily unable to work. Employers must provide this coverage for their employees.
Work Comp
Work Comp for SW Washington Schools provides industrial injury accident insurance coverage for its membership. 29 school districts are part of the pool, which is administered through ESD 112. As a self-insurer, the Pool is fully funded by member school district participants.
We also administer claims for SE Washington schools who are members of the SE Washington Work Comp Trust.
If you have questions regarding a claim, contact our Work Comp Specialist for 112, Lisa Alexander or Work Comp Specialist for 123, Sarah Walker.
