Workers' Compensation Fraud Reporting Form

Employee safety is a top priority for the California Highway Patrol (CHP), but injuries and illnesses do occur. The workers' compensation and industrial disability retirement programs of the CHP are founded on the basic principle that any employee who sustains an injury or illness as a result of, or during the course of their employment, should be provided medical care and benefits while they recover; and, when the injuries or illnesses permanently prevent them from performing their duties, allow them to retire with specified benefits and compensation. When work-related injuries or illnesses occur, our obligation is to ensure all appropriate benefits are accessed and received by those injured employees. At the same time, it is crucial that we have policies and procedures in place to minimize the opportunity to take unfair advantage of the system and/or to commit outright fraud.

The CHP's Workers' Compensation Fraud Investigations Unit (WCFIU) is a specialized team that investigates allegations of workers’ compensation fraud committed by CHP employees. We receive information from a variety of sources, including our toll-free Fraud Reporting Hotline (1-866-779-9237), as well as this website. (For non-CHP employees, please click here).
