(NOTE: Depending upon the law of the other state, it may require the employer to obtain coverage in that state.) This other state`s coverage applies to only work done outside of Ohio. · This selection allows the employer to segregate payroll reported to the other states insurer for work done outside Ohio from their Ohio payroll reported to BWC. · Mail both documents to: BWC Policy Processing Department, 30 W.
