- Uninsured Employers' Fund
If an employer is uninsured, an injured employee can still get workers' compensation benefits via the uninsured employers' fund. The employer can pay the benefits, so it is their refusal to pay which kicks in the uninsured employers fund. The UEF is its own party in the action, and is represented by the Attorney General of Maryland. It is not a good situation to need to get your benefits from the UEF, but it does not mean you will not be compensated.
