The Injured Workers' Insurance Fund provides workers' compensation insurance coverage to Maryland businesses, and acts as claims administrator for all State employees for Workers' Compensation Insurance. As required by the Maryland Workers' Compensation Law, employers must carry this insurance to pay claims arising from workplace accidents and injuries to their employees (Code Labor & Employment Article, Title 9). All expenses of the Fund are paid out of income from premiums paid and interest earned from investments (Code Labor & Employment Article, secs. 10-101 through 10-141).
The Steering Committee is comprised of the risk management coordinators from fourteen State agencies, a representative from the Governor's Office, and a representative from the Injured Workers' Insurance Fund.
