If you have a lost-time claim you may now be able to choose the method you would like to receive your compensation payments. BWC now has three compensation payment methods you can choose from:

• Regular paper warrant
  Your compensation payment will be mailed to your designated locale via the regular U.S. mail service.
• Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
  If you have a claim other than a death claim or a temporary partial claim (TP), your compensation payment is automatically transferred to your financial institution. Just click here to apply for our EFT direct deposit service.
• Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT)
  If you have a permanent total disability (PTD) claim, a debit card is issued to you, your compensation payment is automatically transferred to debit card account. Just click here to apply for our EBT benefit card service.

Even without a bank account, you could be eligible for a BWC electronic benefit card, providing 24-hour access anywhere VISA is accepted.

Just think, no more waiting in line or wondering if the check is in the mail.

Safe - Convenient - Reliable.
