What it does
WC 00 01 08 A (Ed. 4-92) applies to the work described in its Schedule or on the Information Page as subject to the Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities Act (5 USC Sections 8171–8173). The scheduled location is treated as an Item 3.A. state, the act is added to the definition of workers compensation law, and Part Two exclusion 8 is lifted for that work.
Who needs it
Employers whose civilian employees are subject to the Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities Act, the federal law covering employees of activities funded from nonappropriated funds of the armed forces. Because the standard policy excludes this federal act from both Part One's definition of compensation law and from Part Two, the employer has no coverage for these employees without the endorsement.
Key provisions
- The Schedule must describe both the work and its location.
- The endorsement is limited to NAFI work; Longshore exposures at ports need WC 00 01 06, and overseas contractor work under the Defense Base Act needs WC 00 01 01.
Quoting and selling notes
Ask whether the employees are paid by a nonappropriated fund instrumentality or by a private contractor, since the act that applies differs. Get the installation name and location, employee counts and duties so the Schedule can describe the work and location precisely.
