If you are an injured worker of a private self-insured entity in California, your workers benefits will continue through the Security Fund in the event your employer is insolvent - usually due to bankruptcy. Your health and welfare is of great importance to us, and we will do all we can to make sure you receive proper medical care and benefits. We have fulfilled this obligation for thousands of injured workers - without interruption of benefits - since our creation in 1984.

California mandates that all private self-insured employers for workers compensation share the joint and several liabilities of workers comp claims arising from insolvent self-insureds (estates). The Fund provides the organization to manage estate claims and to ensure adequate funding. The Fund uses member assessments; investment income; member posted collateral; bankruptcy liens, and credit default risk transfer to accomplish its mission.
