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 US 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.
