Good morning IMLA COVID-19 Working Group:

We have a question from a member as to how self-insured local governments are responding to worker's compensation claims arising from COVID cases in states where there is no legislative presumption of coverage- i.e. claims the employee contracted COVID due to exposure at work but the state has not addressed any presumption of exposure for certain jobs. Please send me your responses directly to akarars@imla.org mailto:akarars@imla.org and I will pass them along.

Thanks,

Amanda
