Lansing, MI – Accident Fund Insurance Company of America recently announced that it has granted $3.5 million in early dividend payments to chambers of commerce, associations, hospitality and other groups who achieved targeted safety results in 2020. The group dividend payments reached more than 4,700 workers’ compensation insurance group policyholders.
“During these unprecedented times, many of our policyholders have found themselves in a very difficult financial situation,” said Al Gileczek, president of Accident Fund and CompWest. “Because of that, we have decided to pay our group dividends up to three months in advance in order to help our valued customers get through these very challenging times.”
