Create a Culture of Food Safety. a medical opinion to learn the likely cause of the exposure or condition. Step 3: Claims decision and processing benefits Generally, if it appears the transmission occurred at work, SAIF accepts the claim and pays benefits. Because workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, compensability is not driven by the level of the employer’s compliance with public health or other guidance to prevent transmission. The key is simply whether the exposure or transmission occurred at work. Benefit payments can include time loss for quarantine or illness, diagnostic and treatment-related medical services, permanent disability, and, in the event of a fatality, payments to beneficiaries. Sometimes, benefits are paid before a decision on a claim. These pre-decision benefits may include time loss for quarantine or illness and medical benefits for diagnostics like testing. As a safety and health company, SAIF takes our mandate to serve workers and employers during this time very seriously. Beginning prior to the governor’s emergency declaration, SAIF created specialty teams to serve workers and policyholders impacted by coronavirus exposure and COVID-19 illness. We also established a $25 million coronavirus worker safety fund and provided awards to more than 3,400 businesses to purchase personal-protective equipment (PPE), cleaning supplies, and worksite modifications to protect workers from the virus. We have coronavirus safety and claims resources available to you. If you are with SAIF and do experience a claim, our experienced, specialty, claims and legal teams stand by to partner with you in helping you through this process.
