Commissioners authorize joining Kwork workers'comp cooperative; coverage set to start Jan. 1, 2026
Summary
After reviewing bylaws and financing terms, the board approved a resolution to join "Kwork," a multi-county workers'compensation pool, authorizing the chair to sign and directing staff to submit required filings; the premium and certificate of coverage cover Jan. 1, 2026'2027.
The Crawford County Commission reviewed bylaws and a resolution to join Kwork, a municipal group-funded workers'compensation cooperative, and approved a resolution authorizing the county to join the pool and the chairman to sign the interlocal agreement.
Staff walked commissioners through the bylaws, noting Kwork requires five or more member counties, defines member contributions and retains authority to call additional assessments if a catastrophic year occurs. The board discussed trustee composition (seven trustees, elected officials from member counties) and a requirement that the county appoint an elected official as its representative and at least one alternate.
The resolution includes the premium and a certificate of coverage for the benefit year Jan. 1, 2026 through 2027. Commissioners designated signatures and authorized staff to file required copies with the county register of deeds and the secretary of state. The board labeled the action Resolution 2025-037 and approved payment arrangements to ensure the premium is processed at the start of the coverage period.
