This rule addresses workers’ compensation insurance coverage for students 18 years of age or younger participating in work-based learning opportunities. The statute specifies that students placed in paid work-based learning opportunities shall be covered by the employers and that students in unpaid work-based learning opportunities shall be considered employees of the school district or state college for the purpose of workers’ compensation coverage. The rule specifies that employers, including school districts and state colleges, may be reimbursed for the proportionate costs of the workers’ compensation insurance premiums needed to provide the student coverage. The rule also describes procedures for employers to request reimbursement and the Department of Education to make the reimbursements.
