Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Rebates for 2017

June 01, 2017

BWC is preparing to distribute over $1 billion in rebates to more than 200,000 private and public employers. The rebates were approved by the BWC board on April 28. This is the third round of BWC paybacks due, in part, to higher than expected investment returns.

Eligible employers will begin receiving checks in July totaling 66 percent of their premiums for the policy year that ended June 30, 2016 (calendar year 2015 for public employers).

According to published reports, private businesses stand to receive a combined $967 million, while school districts and other public employers will get $133 million.

More information on this is expected to be posted to bwc.ohio.gov soon.
