All Payment requests are processed on a next business day schedule.

Payments requested AFTER 5pm EST on Fridays and weekends will be issued Tuesdays. If a Tuesday lands on a holiday, payments will be processed the following business day.

For fastest payment, be sure to request any existing balances M-F before 5pm EST to receive payment on the next business day.

What does Occupational Accident insurance do for me?

Occupational Accident insurance provides financial coverage for injuries incurred while working. This plan is negotiated by Openforce to ensure you receive a special group rate. By offering settlement-deducted premiums that are paid in arrears, we ensure you have the best coverage when you need it without needing to pay premiums for time not worked.
