Receiving Benefits
Benefits will begin once:
-
AFBS receives and reviews the triage report from Oncidium
-
AFBS has approved your claim, and
-
You have signed and provided AFBS with the release and waiver form (see below for release and waiver details).
Once approved, you will be notified by email.
Should you be eligible, benefits may include:
- Weekly Income Replacement Benefits (WIRB) and Supplementary Health Care Benefits. Once approved and so long as you remain eligible, WIRB benefits are paid every two weeks. Your first WIRB payment will likely be larger as it includes payments for lost income from the date of injury to AFBS approval.
- Supplementary Health Care Benefits are paid with a medical recommendation and on reimbursement only. We aim to issue reimbursements within two weeks.
- Accident Benefits are paid on an application and approval basis only.
- All claim receipts must be mailed to AFBS. Emails or other forms of electronic submission are not accepted.
Release and Waiver Details
Similar to most Workers’ Compensation programs, Accident on Set is not a liability-based program. Entitlement to any eligible Accident on Set benefits requires you to release the Producer from most forms of liability by signing a release and waiver. The Accident on Set administrator will provide the release and waiver form, as well as any disability claim forms that may be required to assess your injury.
