Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court
Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court
At the request of the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court, the Nebraska Department of Insurance has drafted and approved a mandatory amendatory endorsement for attachment to policies providing specific and/or aggregate excess workers' compensation insurance for entities approved as self-insurers in the State of Nebraska. With policy information inserted, this endorsement should be attached to every specific and/or aggregate excess workers' compensation policy issued to an entity approved as a self-insurer in the State of Nebraska.
It is our intent not to approve any provisions in conflict with this endorsement. In addition, so-called "deductible endorsements" (of any form) and retrospective ratings will not be approved to be used for excess workers' compensation policies issued to an entity approved as a self-insurer in the State of Nebraska. These actions reflect the policies of the Workers' Compensation Court for approved workers' compensation self-insured employers.
