Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation

The Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC) is the department of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry that is responsible for overseeing the various workers compensation insurance providers and ensuring that claims are filed correctly by injured employees and that employers follow all restrictions.

The group’s main purpose is to ensure that everyone complies with the Pennsylvania rules concerning workers compensation. The group’s website has all of the information a company could ever want to have about workers compensation.

As part of its efforts to ensure that everyone complies with the workers compensation laws, the group provides announcements related to the workers compensation field. Recent additions to the announcement page include information on the new 2009 pay scale and information on how not to have a claim rejected.

According to the group, employers who wish to end temporary compensation must submit all of the proper documentation, including notice, to have their claim reviewed. Without all of the forms present, the application to end temporary compensation will be rejected.

Basically, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers Compensation is the administrative agency devoted to ensuring that injured workers receive adequate compensation and that employers of injured workers do not manage to cheat the system somehow.
