K2 OCONUS Defense Base Act Program With Nationwide

A new Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance program has been launched by K2 OCONUS, a division of K2 Insurance Services, with Nationwide’s excess & surplus/specialty business serving as the underwriter. The program will provide workers’ compensation coverage for U.S. government contractors working overseas, especially in high-risk areas.

The program is now live and open to U.S. government contractors working abroad in any industry, including construction, engineering, logistics, security, and humanitarian aid.

The Defense Base Act (DBA) is an extension of the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). This act provides disability compensation and medical benefits to employees and death benefits to eligible survivors of employees of U.S. government contractors who perform work overseas.
