COVID-19 claims

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has ordered lifting the public health emergency relating to the COVID-19 pandemic effective Oct. 31, 2022.

Presumptive workers’ compensation coverage for contraction of or quarantine due to COVID-19 ends with the end of state and federal public health emergency.

Healthcare and frontline workers will continue to be eligible for presumptive coverage until the U.S. president declares an end to public health emergency.

Claims for COVID-19 falling outside the presumptive coverage will be considered under standard occupational disease criteria.
