Claims Management Services
Claims Administration for the S.C. Counties Workers' Compensation Trust (SCCWCT) is provided by Companion Property and Casualty with oversight by the Trust's Director of Insurance Services. Companion has contracted with the Trust to provide these services to SCCWCT members. The SCCWCT and Companion work together in providing workers' compensation and claims services to 44 of South Carolina's 46 counties. Member counties do not contract with Companion. These services are provided as part of the SCCWCT program.

Our goal is to process fair and equitable claim settlements and payments as quickly and efficiently as possible, while keeping you informed. Detailed loss reports are made available to members on a monthly basis.

Reinsurance
Reinsurance protects the financial stability of the Trusts from adverse claims experience. To ensure this stability, the Trusts have strong reinsurance to guard against unfavorable loss experience. The financial protection of members from catastrophic losses receives top priority.
Coverages
Although the Trusts already offer competitive coverages, we consider coverage an on-going project, and we are always looking for ideas on coverage enhancements and other improvements that can better serve South Carolina's counties.
Risk Management Services
SCAC has two full-time risk managers with extensive experience working with South Carolina counties. These risk managers ensure that Trust members receive the very best services possible to help all members reduce their total cost of risk.
The Boards of Directors of both Trusts believe very strongly in the benefits of aggressive risk management and actively encourage all members to develop and improve their risk management programs. The costs of property, liability and workers' compensation claims are simply too high for local governments to operate without sound risk management programs.
