The COVID-19 virus has been ravaging the world, United States, and Texas for over a year. The deadly virus has impacted our economy, the workplace, and workers’ compensation with devastating effects. COVID-19 is still with us as new variants that are more contagious are spreading across our nation and in Texas.

Join Deep East Texas Self Insurance Fund (DETSIF) and a panel of experts for a webinar which will provide our membership with an overview of the COVID-19 virus, the impact of COVID-19 on workers’ compensation, the claims investigation and handling process for COVID-19 claims, legal issues, and first responder and nurse COVID-19 presumption legislation that is under consideration by the Texas Legislature and is expected to pass. 

The webinar marks DETSIF’s first of several upcoming webinars which will provide our membership with insight into the Texas workers’ compensation system, claims handling processes, claims reporting requirements, and issues unique to our membership.
