Coverage when working out of state
NOTICE: The information below is provided for reference purposes only. It should not be construed as legal advice or interpretation of other states’ laws and rules. The information listed for any particular state may not be up-to-date as statutes, rules, and agreements may have changed. Employers are responsible for understanding and complying with each state’s requirements and should not rely solely on the information below.
Oregon workers’ compensation insurance plans provide benefits for injured Oregon workers. However, when workers are on a temporary assignment in another state and have an on-the-job injury, the Oregon insurance coverage may or may not apply.
If the state has a reciprocal agreement with Oregon, the worker receives the same benefits as if the injury occurred in Oregon. Some reciprocal agreements have restrictions for certain industries or situations.
When there is no such agreement, there is no coverage in place. The employer must buy an insurance policy specific to that state.
State-by-state coverage information is provided below. Reciprocity means that the state has a reciprocity agreement with Oregon and workers on temporary assignment in the state are covered. Extraterritorial provisions means that coverage from the state follows its workers in other states.
If your state does not reciprocate with Oregon, then extraterritorial provisions do not apply in Oregon.
If an Oregon employer opens a permanent location in another state and hires workers, that employer would always have to obtain coverage for that state.

In the state of Missouri, you must carry workers' compensation insurance if you have five or more employees, unless you are in the construction industry. Then, you must carry workers' compensation insurance if you have at least one employee. Employers that don't have the required number of employees or who have employees in the exempt categories may "elect" to come under the law and carry workers' compensation insurance. Exempt employers that decide not to purchase workers' compensation insurance or to self-insure remain exposed to civil lawsuits brought by employees who are injured during work. Sole proprietors and partners are not themselves covered unless they elect to be covered; close family member-employees and members of a limited liability company are presumed to be covered unless they opt out.
Railroad, postal, and maritime workers are covered under federal laws and not by Missouri's workers' compensation laws. Other exceptions include: farm labor, domestic servants in a private home, occasional labor performed for or related to a private household, qualified real estate agents, direct sellers, volunteers of a tax exempt organization where such volunteers are not paid wages and adjudicators, and sports officials or contest workers for interscholastic activity programs or amateur youth programs who are not employed by the sponsor of the event.

Statute: Code of Virginia 65.2-508
Certificate filing: N/A
Virginia law requires that an employer who regularly employs more than two part-time or full-time employees (including executive officers) carry workers' compensation. If a business hires subcontractors to perform the same trade, business or occupation, or to fulfill a contract, the subcontractor’s employees are included when determining the total number of employees for coverage requirements. Out of state employers with a current valid workers' compensation policy from their home state must have valid Virginia workers' compensation coverage with a carrier licensed to write Virginia coverage before performing work in Virginia. This may be accomplished by adding the state of Virginia to Item 3A of the existing insurance policy. Item 3A of the policy is for “known exposure” and identifies insurance for operations conducted in a state.
