Paying Agent 1
Paying Agent 1 : An insurer or self-insured employer appointed by the Workers' Compensation Division to be temporarily responsible for paying benefits due to an injured worker when several insurers and/or employers are involved in a dispute over which party is responsible for the worker's injury or disease. When the dispute is resolved by either legal order or stipulation, the insurer found responsible is obligated to reimburse the paying agent. This appointment occurs only if responsibility for the injury or disease is in dispute. A paying agent will not be named if compensability is also at issue. Generally, the insurer with the lowest compensation rate will be selected as the paying agent
