Does Workers’ Comp Cover Occupational Disease?

Workers’ comp can cover occupational disease tied to work under state law, but each state sets its own definition and proof rules.

That example is not a nationwide definition.

Check the employee’s state law for its disease test, exposure period, and claim deadline. Confirm the policy lists the relevant state and any federal-act endorsements for the work.
