Set Up Your User Account for the BWC Website

Once you know your claim number, you can set up a password-protected user account for the BWC website.  This will let you see many claim details on-line without needing to talk to a Customer Service Representative or Claims Service Specialist.  This is a valuable time-saving service, and you should set up your account right away!

Follow the steps below to set up your account.  (The instructions on the website are a bit difficult to follow on their own.)

1. Before you can set up your account, you must know your date of birth, social security number, BWC claim number, and the date of injury as reported to BWC.  You can find the last two items on the BWC Identification Card you received in the mail from BWC.
2. Go to the BWC website home page , and find the E-Account logon area in the upper right corner.
3. Click the link titled "Create e-account" underneath the Sign on button.  A new page will open up asking you to enter your name and other information.
4. Enter your first and last names and your email address, if you have one.  Leave department and title blank.  Press "Next" at the bottom of the page.  A page asking you to select the e-account type will appear.
5. Select the first item, "I am the injured worker" and then press "Next".  A new page will open up asking you for details that will identify your claim.
6. Enter your claim number, date of injury, social security number, and date of birth.  Press Next and continue to follow the instructions.
7. Once your account is set up, you can log in and use the many automated features available on the Injured Workers page to find out details about your claim.  You might want to do that right now and see the types of information available.
8. Be sure to save your username and password in a secure place so you do not forget them when you want to log in the next time.
