Workers’ Compensation Blanket, Endorsement Overview Endorsement (WC 99 06 43)

Workers’ compensation endorsement that applies on a blanket basis where required by written contract, but does not include a waiver of subrogation.

What Does This Coverage Include?

  • Modifies the Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability policy to address contract requirements related to recovery rights after an employee injury claim.
  • Does not indicate a waiver of subrogation, so any contract requirement to waive recovery rights would typically need a waiver endorsement to be added to the workers’ compensation policy.
  • This is important to verify before work begins, since waiver language is commonly required on construction and service agreements.
  • Written on a **blanket** basis, applying the endorsement to any party you are required to address by written contract, rather than naming each party individually.
  • Most often used for contracts where employee injury claims could otherwise trigger recovery actions against upstream parties, disrupting risk allocation.

What Is NOT Covered?

  • The following coverages can be included if endorsed elsewhere
  • Waiver of subrogation: This endorsement does not waive the workers’ compensation insurer’s rights of recovery against required parties.

Why Is This Endorsement Important?

  • Improves operational efficiency by applying the endorsement on a blanket basis for parties required by written contract—especially helpful for contractors working across multiple job sites.
  • If a contract requires waiver of subrogation, this endorsement (as shown) may not satisfy that requirement—so adding a waiver form can help avoid compliance issues and disputes.
  • Makes certificate and endorsement review more straightforward by clearly signaling whether waiver of subrogation obligations are supported by the policy.

How Do You Review This Coverage?

  • Ensure that policy number - when printed - matches the COI
  • Ensure that expiration date - when printed - is not yet expired
  • Ensure that no invalidating watermarks (e.g. Sample) are included
  • Review any specific limitations or restrictive language.
  • Ensure the blanket language, if not broad, is applicable to your entities.
