FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS:
How do
I handle a worker's compensation claim?
All
University of Georgia employees are covered by state
Workers' Compensation laws, which may provide medical and income
benefits if you are injured on the job. Workers' Compensation also
provides benefits to your dependents if you die as the result of
a job-related illness or injury.
Enrollment
Employees are automatically covered under this program at no cost
to the employee. No action is required on your part to enroll.
Procedures
to follow:
Note:
If the employee receives a check from UGA, you must file for worker's
compensation through UGA, not your county.
If an employee
suffers an injury while performing their job duties, you should
immediately report the injury to your supervisor. You and your employee
must complete a "First
Report of Injury" form and submit it to the Employee
Benefits Department within five days of the injury. If medical attention
is needed, they must seek treatment from a physician listed on the
panel
of physicians poster located in each UGA department. In the
case of an emergency, they should seek treatment from the nearest
hospital emergency room.

Why can't
dental insurance be dropped anytime?
Dental
insurance premiums are tax-exempt. IRS regulations do not allow
coverage change unless there is a qualified change in family circumstances.
