Workers' Compensation Claims

The City of Stockton is "self-insured" for workers' compensation benefits. The City pays benefits directly to injured employees rather than purchasing an insurance policy that would pay benefits.

All employees of the City are eligible to receive workers compensation benefits if injured or made ill by their job. There is no qualification period for eligibility, such as working a minimum time period or a minimum number of hours per week. If an employee believes that he or she was injured on the job, a claim for benefits can be filed with the employee's supervisor.
