What is this bond?

The Illinois Self-Insurer's Workers' Compensation Bond is a financial guarantee required for employers who choose to self-insure their workers' compensation liabilities. It guarantees that the employer will fulfill their obligation to pay required medical benefits and lost wages to injured employees. If the employer defaults on these payments, the surety bond provides funds to cover the claims.

Who needs it?

This bond is needed by qualifying businesses in Illinois that elect to self-insure their workers' compensation risks rather than purchasing a traditional insurance policy. Both individual employers and group self-insurance pools may be required to secure this bond. Requirements vary, so employers should verify their status with the state.

Why is it required?

The obligee requires this bond to protect injured workers and the state from financial harm. It serves as a critical safety net, ensuring that employees receive their appropriate benefits even if the self-insured employer becomes insolvent or bankrupt.
