COVID/1099 Status/Workmen's Comp

[Old_Mil]

I've never relied on a 1099 for my primary income stream. I figured I might throw this out there as a discussion point so our 1099 colleagues don't get any unpleasant surprises.

What is the relationship between at work injuries (or in this case, contracting Covid), the individual health care policy you buy on the open market, and workmen's compensation insurance?

... Because obviously you don't want to be in a position where you are counting on your health insurance for coverage and they deny claims because they classify something as a work related injury.

We have been told Workman's Comp won't qualify because you can't prove that your contracted Coronavirus on the job.

Washington hospitals are covering their docs and nurses via WC.

We need to stop this nonsense.
