The $1 billion rebate is part of a three part plan to bring BWC to within net asset guidelines established by its independent Board of Directors.

The plan also changes BWC's successful Safety Grant Program, including tripling the amount of money available from $5 million to $15 million to support expanded statewide efforts to promote workplace safety and encourage further investment in protecting Ohio's workers.

BWC will also now match every employer dollar with three dollars.
