A monopolistic state refers to any state that has special legislation in place that requires workers' compensation coverage to be provided exclusively by the state's workers compensation program. In monopolistic states workers compensation insurance cannot be purchased from private insurers as it is not allowed.
In order to satisfy the insurance requirements for your client, vendors from these states will need to provide a Certificate of Premium Payment or Certificate of Good Standing along with your Certificate of Insurance. Certificates can be obtained from your state fund program found below.
The following states are monopolistic fund states:
