COLUMBUS — The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation has determined how much money individual counties will receive from a statewide $15 million rebate the BWC Board of Directors approved May 26.
The rebates, because of strong investment returns over the last decade, include a high of nearly $1.5 million for Hamilton County to a low of $133 for Fulton County, the only county receiving less than $4,100. Nearly half of all counties will receive at least $90,000.
Logan County will receive $54,057.96.
“Thanks to prudent fiscal management and excellent investment returns, we’re pleased to send this money back to county governments,” said BWC Administrator/CEO Sarah Morrison. “While it’s up to the counties how to spend these funds, we encourage them to invest in workplace safety programs to help keep employees safe and contain future costs.”
