New BWC Form for Claims Involving Students

Under Ohio’s recently enacted Senate Bill 166, employers that provide work-based learning experiences for students enrolled in a career-tech education program can have eligible student claims excluded from their future workers’ comp premium calculation.

The BWC has created a new form called “Request to Exclude Work-Based Learning Pilot Program Claims from Employer’s Experience.” This form (U-157) is available here. For questions, email BWC staff. 9/1/2022
