Your Billion Back Rebate Check is Coming Soon!

In June, the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation Board of Directors approved a $1.5 billion rebate to Ohio employers with an active BWC policy.  According to the BWC it will distribute rebate checks to nearly 180,000 public and private employers. The BWC expects to begin mailing checks to public employers on September 26^th, followed by private employers through October 24^th.  This will mark the fifth time since 2013 the BWC has returned at least $1 billion to Ohio employers.

The $1.5 billion will equate to 88 percent of the premiums Ohio employers paid for the 2017 policy year which ended June 30, 2018. The majority of rebate will go to private employers, while public entities are estimated to receive approximately $164 million in rebates.
