Defense Base Act (42 U.S.C. 1651 “DBA”) requires federal contractors and subcontractors working outside the continental United States to provide the equivalent of workers’ compensation insurance to their employees. The U.S. Government reimburses DBA insurance carriers for claims paid in connection with injuries or deaths from war hazards as defined and covered by the War Hazards Compensation Act.
According to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 28.305), contracting officers must include DBA (workers’ compensation) insurance in each contract approved or financed under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (Public Law 87-195) unless the Secretary of Labor approves a waiver of coverage.
The Insurer will be the exclusive source of DBA workers' compensation insurance for all Department of State managed contracts involving overseas performance. The Insurer must provide coverage under the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (DBA) to employees of DoS contractors and subcontractors, handle all DBA claims with a reasonable standard of care, and comply with WHCA reimbursement procedures. The Insurer shall not assess minimum premiums and must sell policies at the fixed rates established in the contract. The Insurer must also submit quarterly and annual reports including premium, loss, and refund data.
