MLBMA, in partnership with the Michigan Retail Hardware Association (MRHA) Self-Insured Workers Compensation Fund, provides members of MLBMA workers compensation coverage at considerable savings over the cost of coverage with a commercial insurance carrier.
For over 29 years the MRHA Self-Insured Workers Compensation Fund has been operated by MRHA staff for Association members. Trustees are members of MRHA and continue to work and serve with staff to manage and administrate the fund.
Why consider Workers Compensation coverage through the MRHA Self-Insured Fund?
- The MRHA Self-Insured Workers Compensation Fund is nationally recognized for proactive member-related service for providing the lowest net cost to participants.
- The Fund operates with lower overhead costs than a typical insurance company and refunds interest earnings as well as premium monies that aren't utilized for operating costs.
- The Fund's claims are less than half of a typical insurance company's because members and employees consistently report claims early and help workers quickly and safely return to work.
- The annual participant retention has exceeded 99% for over 25-years.
