On July 28, 2003, a liquidation order was issued in Pennsylvania regarding Legion Insurance Company.  This has triggered the Michigan Property & Casualty Guaranty Association (MPCGA) to assume liability for these claims.

The MPCGA has contracted with the Accident Fund Insurance Company of America to handle all workers' compensation claims in Michigan.  The contact information is:

             TPA Operations

             Accident Fund Insurance Company of America

             232 S. Capitol Avenue

             P.O. Box 40790

             Lansing, MI 48901-7990

             Voice:   517-367-1895

             Fax:  517-367-2954

The MPCGA is in the process of receiving the claim files from the third party administrators who handled the claims for Legion.  The MPCGA and the Accident Fund are requesting that contested claims be adjourned for 90 days in order to allow the staff to review and set up the files for proper handling.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
