Where to file for workers’ compensation

Each state has a workers' compensation program. These offices handle claims for employees of private organizations and state and local governments.

Contact your state workers' compensation program to file a claim. If your claim is denied, you can appeal the decision.

Workers' compensation benefits

Most workers' compensation benefits provide:

• Cash payments for lost wages while you recover
• Medical expenses
• Benefits to dependents if a worker dies due to a work-related injury or illness

Contact your state workers' compensation program to get details about all the benefits and eligibility.
