Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Requirements

Workers' compensation covers wage replacement and medical bills for employees injured on the job. State lawmakers have made recent strides to update the workers’ compensation system; most notably, providing PTSD coverage for first-responders, such as firefighters.

All employees working in Connecticut must be covered by a workers’ compensation policy. Requirements differ for non-employees:

  • Sole proprietors: Excluded from coverage but have the option to get coverage for themselves.
  • Partners: Included in coverage but have the option to exclude themselves. 
  • Corporate officers and members of an LLC: Included in coverage but have the option to exclude themselves.

Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Insurance Rates

Connecticut workers’ comp rates decreased in 2019. The state insurance department approved a more than 16% drop in rates for workers’ compensation insurance.

This was the fifth consecutive year that rates have decreased, and is the result of a decline in the number of workplace injuries, work comp claims filed and average medical costs per claim.
