EXPERIENCE
The Michigan County Workers’ Compensation Fund (MCWCF) protects public agencies across Michigan. We offer insurance, claims services, and safety training.
For example, our nonprofit pool includes more than 80 members. These include counties, villages, libraries, and transit authorities. Because of this broad reach, we understand public sector needs.
MCWCF has operated since 1979. Since then, we’ve grown steadily while staying financially strong. As a result, our members receive reliable service, annual grants, and shared dividends.
In addition, members trust us because we focus on long-term support. They know we’re here to help.
Finally, MCWCF is affiliated with the Michigan Association of Counties. This connection helps us serve members even better.c
