About the Fund

"A New Approach"

Workers' Compensation costs are escalating at an alarming rate. The financial burdens placed on Michigan school districts as a result of work-related employee injuries demand progressive, proactive management and administration. The old way of dealing with workers' compensation no longer works! Now is the time for "A NEW APPROACH". The Middle Cities Workers' Compensation Fund offers such an approach based on professional management, dedicated claims administration and effective risk control and prevention.

Workers' Compensation costs are soaring!

Created in 1993 by the Board of The Middle Cities Education Association as a state-approved group self insurance fund, MCWCF represents a proactive approach to workers' disability management.
