Workers' Compensation & Risk Management Division
The Workers’ Compensation & Risk Management Division is organized
under the Department of Finance and reports directly to the City Controller.
This Division supervises all aspects of the City’s Self Insured Workers’
Compensation Program. The City is an authorized Self Insurer by the State of
Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Commission. The City is also obligated to its
sworn Police and Fire personnel under the terms of the Heart and Hypertension
(H&H) Act. The liabilities under the H&H Act cannot be covered by the
purchase of insurance and are self-funded. Since 1996, the City has utilized
the services of the Connecticut Interlocal Risk Management Agency (CIRMA) to
operate as its Third-Party Administrator for the day to day handling of its
Workers’ Compensation and H&H claims. Through the City’s Health &
Safety Committees, this Division also supervises all Risk Management Program
activities.
