On June 13, 2003 a liquidation order was issued in New Hampshire regarding Home Insurance Company.  This has triggered the Michigan Property & Casualty Guaranty Association (MPCGA) to assume liability for these claims.

The MPCGA will handle claims internally for all workers’ compensation claims in Michigan.  The contact information is:

                        Josie Rea

                        MPCGA

                        P.O. Box 531266

                        Livonia, MI 48153-1266

                        Voice: 734-542-1547, ext 10

The MPCGA is in the process of receiving the claim files from the third party administrators who handled the claims for Home.  The MPCGA is requesting that contested claims be adjourned for 90 days in order to allow the staff to review and set up the files for proper handling.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
