What and who does the Commonwealth of Pennsylvanias liability insurance program cover?
As a state agency, the State System participates in two self-insurance programs administered by the Bureau of Risk and Insurance Management (BRIM) of the Department of General Services. The Tort Claims Self-Insurance Program covers eligible losses resulting from tort claims made against Commonwealth agencies and/or employees for wrongful acts resulting in injury to persons and property. The Employee Liability Self-Insurance Program (ELSIP) covers claims or suits for civil rights errors and omissions made against specifically named state officials or employee defendants who are acting in good faith and within the scope of their employment.
