CORRECTION: COVID-19 presumptive coverage for health care and frontline workers ended April 10, 2023
CORRECTION: The state of emergency for COVID-19 ended April 10, 2023, thereby ending presumptive coverage for COVID-19 for both health care and frontline workers. An earlier email gave an incorrect date.
Health care and frontline presumptive coverage is limited to:
- Contractions or exposures that occurred between the date the coverage was effective and the end of the emergency:
- Healthcare workers, dates Feb. 29, 2020 through April 10, 2023.
- Frontline workers, dates May 11, 2021 through April 10, 2023.
- Claims that were timely filed (within two years of the exposure or contraction), and
- Claims that otherwise meet the criteria for allowance.
Non-presumptive claims for COVID-19 will continue to be considered under standard occupational disease criteria, similar to that of exposures to Hepatitis. Questions? Email: SITrainerQuestions@Lni.wa.gov
