Out-of-state workers' compensation insurance is available for workers employed by the state of Oregon and is initiated on an employee by employee basis. 

This coverage applies when:

• Workers who are hired to work in a state other than Oregon.

• Telecommuters who live in another state and are on fixed, regular schedules to work from home.

• Employees are not expected to return to Oregon.

This coverage does not apply when:

• Employees work occasionally out-of-state.

• Employees are out-of-state for short-term business meetings and occasional conferences.

• Examples:
• Works from home in Vancouver, WA on a snow day.
