Resolution Reached In Potential Double Comp Coverage On Carroll County First Responders

An issue with the possibility of double workman’s compensation coverage being provided for first responders in Carroll County came to the attention of the Board of Supervisors mid-October. A routine audit in Breda raised the question of who should be supplying coverage, the party who handles payroll or the instructing party. The question was studied and the county and Breda officials met to resolve the issue. Supervisor Rich Ruggles was at that meeting.

Ruggles adds, not everyone was necessarily pleased with the outcome.

Supervisor, Dean Schettler, raised a question that concerned first responders county-wide.

Ruggles says he was under the impression that the coverage would follow the vehicle. It was suggested that city officials in Breda contact their insurance agent to get clarification on those types of issues and have a full explanation of what is and is not covered.
