Ensuring New Jersey Workers Receive
Fair and Timely Compensation Benefits
 For Work Related Injuries

The Division of Workers' Compensation is responsible for the administration of the N.J. Workers’ Compensation Law, N.J.S.A. 34:15-1 et seq., and the disposition of all disputes raised under the law.  The Division operates 15 workers’ compensation courts statewide, providing an impartial forum that ensures workers receive fair and timely workers’ compensation benefits, including the payment of medical expenses, temporary disability benefits and/or permanent disability benefits for compensable injuries that occur while at work.  Through its Office of Special Compensation Funds, the Division enforces the State’s law requiring employers to secure workers’ compensation insurance coverage from commercial carriers or through self-insurance programs.  The Division also administers the Uninsured Employer’s Fund, which provides temporary disability benefits and medical expenses to workers injured while working for uninsured employers, and the Second Injury Fund, which provides benefit payments to workers who are already partially disabled who subsequently experience a work related injury which together, render them totally disabled.  The Division is supported by dedicated funding from surcharges paid by employers.
