Bureau of Workers' Comp 2020 Dividend FAQ
The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation's Board of Directors approved to send up to $1.6 billion to Ohio employers this spring to ease the economic impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Ohio's economy and business community. While you may be accustomed to receiving dividend checks from BWC, this year's dividend was not a foregone conclusion. Gov. DeWine has asked his agencies to do everything they can to ease the strain of COVID-19 on Ohioans. Even after the dividend, the net position of the State Insurance Fund for injured workers remains strong due to investment returns, declining injuries and decreasing reserves.
