File a Claim Petition for Benefits from an Uninsured Employer

File this petition for compensation from your employer and the Uninsured Employers Guaranty Fund due to the absence of workers’ compensation insurance. This applies when your employer didn't have coverage and wasn't approved as a self-insurer during the alleged injury. Please note: you can only file this petition 21 days after submitting a Notice of Claim Against Uninsured Employer.

The Uninsured Employers Guaranty Fund (UEGF) has established a list of panel providers as permitted by section 1603(e) of the PA Workers' Compensation Act. As such, during the 90-day period from the date of the employee's Form LIBC-551, Notice of Claim Against Uninsured Employer, the UEGF is only responsible for reimbursing expenses for medical treatments, services and accommodations rendered by the physicians or other health care providers that are designated on the list. If the employee receives medical treatments, services or accommodations from a health care provider that is not designated on the list during this 90-day period, the UEGF is relieved from liability for the payment of the medical treatments, services and accommodations rendered during that time.
